Help us build resilience for adolescents through a year-long creative learning that focuses on equipping them with the tools they need for emotional regulation, resilience, and self-awareness.

In the heart of urban slums, youth and adolescents grapple with a relentless struggle against harsh living conditions. Many face a lack of parental guidance, constant exposure to crime, abuse within their homes, and an enduring scarcity of basic resources. These adversities leave them vulnerable to emotional and behavioral challenges, often manifesting in fights, substance abuse, and idleness, as they struggle to find a sense of purpose. For many, traditional education does not resonate, leaving them feeling disconnected and unsupported.

At My Perch, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of creative engagement over the past nine years. Our programs have worked with youth caught in cycles of conflict and disengagement, offering them a platform to express themselves and discover their identities through music, dance, and theater. Today, many of these young individuals confidently support themselves and their families, having found purpose and direction through the arts.

Creative activities are not just an outlet but a lifeline, helping build self-esteem, foster emotional wellbeing, and improve social skills through collaboration and interaction. Yet, for most children in urban slums, such opportunities remain out of reach. This program aims to bridge this gap, providing a structured and safe platform for creativity and self-expression, fostering emotional and intellectual growth, and empowering youth to break free from cycles of vulnerability and realize their potential. 

At My Perch, we believe every child deserves a safe space to express, create, and grow. Through our creative programs, we support the emotional well-being of children at risk, living in difficult conditions. Our mission is to offer a safe space for children and youth by promoting mental well-being through creative engagement. We strive to foster resilience, inspire self-expression, and create a supportive environment that enables their emotional and psychological growth.

Our project is a transformative initiative designed to bring the power of creative arts to children living in underserved communities. This program offers weekly classes in three key disciplines—dance, music, and theater—on different days of the week to ensure focused and structured learning. Each discipline offers a vibrant platform for self-expression, skill development, and emotional well-being, allowing children to explore their potential in a supportive environment. Through this project we aim to achieve the following outcomes.

• Improved self-esteem and confidence among children through consistent participation in creative activities.
• Development of creative and critical thinking skills.
• Enhanced ability to express emotions and ideas.
• Strengthened social connections and teamwork among participants.
• Identification of children’s talents and interests, opening avenues for further development. 

By fostering these skills, we aim to support the overall development and mental health of the youth in our community. Your contribution will directly fund these workshops, enabling us to make a significant difference in their lives throughout the year. Together, we can ensure these children have the support they need for emotional healing and growth.

Join us in making a difference—every contribution counts!
