International Program Highlights

India | The Shanti Bhavan Children's Project

In partnership with Broadway for Arts Education (BAE), we provide comprehensive music education to 300+ students at this renowned school featured in the Netflix series Daughters of Destiny. Our programming spans 17 years of intervention—from kindergarten through college—empowering children from the lowest castes to uplift their communities through private lessons, choirs, and general music.

Haiti | The St. Joseph Family

Serving children and adults with disabilities in Port-au-Prince and Jacmel, this initiative invests directly in the local creative economy. In partnership with BAE, we fund the salaries of local teaching artists and provide essential resources—from musical instruments to clean water—to support economically disadvantaged communities.

Ecuador | Tomas de Berlanga Educational Unit

Launched as a pandemic response in 2020 and executed in partnership with BAE, this program has grown into a vital hub for digital arts. We provide virtual instruction in music, graphic design, and video editing while supporting local educators with professional development and curricula.
