What we do ?
Promotion of Vocational Skills
We provide training in a wide range of vocational skills
including carpentry, fabrication, painting, electrical work and
electronics. By equipping individuals with these skills, we
enable them to pursue sustainable livelihoods and contribute to
their communities
Artistic Expression
We support and showcase diverse forms of artistic expression
including dance, music, poetry, storytelling, drawing, and the
creation of bonsai. Through workshops, seminars, exhibitions,
and concerts, we provide platforms for artists to share their
talents and connect with audiences.
Meditation Practices
In addition to promoting vocational skills and artistic
expression, we also emphasize the importance of meditation for
mental and emotional well-being. We offer classes and
workshops in various meditation techniques, helping
individuals cultivate inner peace and resilience.
Environmental Conservation
At GIRIDHAM, we are committed to reducing waste and
promoting environmental sustainability. We encourage the
upcycling and recycling of materials to create art and other
useful articles. Additionally, we engage in activities such as
forest conservation, plantation drives, and providing food and
shelter for birds and animals.
Community Engagement
Through collaborations with other institutions, schools,
colleges, and NGOs, we strive to create a network of support for
our shared goals of promoting art, culture, and environmental
conservation. We also organize events such as auctions,
exhibitions, and online sales to showcase and market the work of
our participants.
Special Children with Needs
We provide specialized art and meditation programs tailored to
the needs of autistic individuals and children, offering them
opportunities for self-expression and personal growth. We also
offer support and resources for their caregivers to help them
navigate the unique challenges they face.
Paediatrics Cancer Patients
Through our art therapy programs, we aim to bring comfort, joy,
and emotional healing to paediatric cancer patients and their
caregivers during their challenging journey. Art has the power to
provide solace and strength during difficult times, and we are
dedicated to leveraging this therapeutic tool for the benefit of
those affected by cancer.
Wildlife Conservation Organizations and Animal Rescue Activities
We actively support wildlife conservation efforts and animal
