WHO WE ARE
Vaitalika Foundation is a student-led NGO that aims to preserve South Asian cultural art forms by supporting underprivileged artists, reconnecting individuals with their roots, and spreading awareness about the artforms.
Our main objectives include:
- Hiring professional teachers and hosting workshops to teach classical art forms to passionate children in the orphanages
- Providing women in villages who make and sell cultural artifacts for a living with resources, training, micro-loans, and marketing support
- Spreading awareness about the arts to the general public through fundraising events, social media, and more
Through our programs and initiatives, we provide resources, mentorship, and opportunities for artistic expression, fostering a vibrant community that cherishes and sustains South Asian cultural heritage. Our ultimate goal is to ensure the continuity and celebration of these art forms for generations to come, empowering both artists and enthusiasts to find inspiration, identity, and pride in their cultural legacy.

TESTIMONIALS
"I want to become an architect and be a part-time Kuchipudi teacher. Kuchipudi has become a big part of my life and I am so grateful for the Vaitalika Foundation for allowing me to follow my dreams by giving me the opportunity to learn from a professional dance teacher!"
