Who we are

As part of an on-going toy and book drive, Scribble Foundation is raising funds for reading material at Dyanmandir Vidyalaya, a government-aided, Marathi-medium, primary school based in Goregaon, Mumbai. In addition to a kindergarten section, the school has roughly 150 first to fourth graders. We believe Pratham's bilingual books can help develop the children's reading skills in both Marathi and English in a fun and interactive manner.


Our work and its impact

Scribble Foundation is non-profit initiative set up in 2013 to make visual art more accessible to low-income schools across India though artist interactions and mural projects.


How we will utilise these books

At present, we mainly conduct Classroom Canvas Projects where we make infrastructural and aesthetic changes to classrooms. We first hire local masons to refurbish and repaint classroom walls. Then, through an orientation session, our volunteer artists interact with students to understand their background and aspirations, and conceptualize a mural that best suits the children and age group. The murals are then executed with help of children, staff and parents. This results in the creation of a positive and inspiring learning space, of which the students are co-creators not just consumers. The projects also bring together the teacher and parent community to work as a team. Different from our usual activities, we are conducting a toy and book drive for Dyanmandir Vidyalaya's kindergarten and primary section. The funds raised through this campaign will be used to purchase books for the first to fourth graders at Dyanmnadir Vidyalaya. More specifically, each student will receive a Pratham Book and can use them in addition to their existing academic material to develop their reading skills.
