Siddh Saraff’s Initiative Helps Underserved Children Access Art

NEW YORK (TIP): Art has long served as a powerful medium through which people share stories, challenge injustice, and express hope. Yet for many children, particularly those in underserved communities, access to art supplies and training remains limited. P@rt, an initiative led by Siddh Saraff, seeks to bridge this gap by making artistic expression more accessible and meaningful for children regardless of their background.

The philosophy behind P@rt is simple but profound: art should not be a luxury. It should be a space where every child can create, communicate, and feel heard. The initiative underscores a critical truth—talent exists everywhere, but opportunities do not, especially when basic supplies are costly and formal art education is scarce.

To expand its impact, P@rt partnered with PURE Indi Trust (Pushp-Kiran Union for Real Enlightenment), an NGO founded in March 2013 that supports livelihoods through entrepreneurship, skill development, and educational initiatives for women, youth, and persons with disabilities.

As part of this collaboration, P@rt organized an “Art for Change” fundraiser that raised $50,000 to support PURE Indi Trust’s programs and provide art kits for students. Following the fundraiser, the initiative purchased and distributed 97 art kits for children attending programs at the NGO’s premises. Each kit included essential materials such as watercolors, poster paints, pencils, brushes, palettes, easels, and cardstock.

Beyond providing supplies, P@rt also emphasizes learning. Siddh Saraff—who also serves as Youth Coordinator for the Rajasthan Association of North America (RANA)—conducted three in-person workshops introducing students to basic techniques in painting and sketching, with each session focusing on a different artistic medium.

In addition, P@rt has developed a series of children’s storybooks titled “Reading for Resistance,” illustrating how creative expression—through music, writing, and street art—can challenge social norms and inspire young readers to see art as a force for change.
