Who we are
We are a youth-led nonprofit organisation committed towards the betterment of society. With a strong belief in empowerment through skill-building, we strive for holistic quality education and train young students in honing their creative talents and developing important life skills through workshops and classes. We also paint murals in rural areas in the form of interactive workshops with underprivileged children. With Delhi NCR as our Headquarters, we now have branches in Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai and Bangalore.
Our vision
Ayka is on a mission to make art and culture accessible to rural areas by enriching underprivileged children with creative and cultural knowledge through our workshops, artworks, and numerous initiatives. Our entire team is highly passionate about giving these kids a world of knowledge that would never have reached them otherwise, hopefully adding some color and happiness to their lives.

We just don't do art, we believe in it.
Spreading joy with the help of our passion has always been the driving force for us. We want to share this experience with every child we teach, every wall we paint.
Our Volunteers
“Working with the people in Ayka helped me explore the gateway to happiness of young children.”
It was an opportunity that made me question everything I stand for and taught to me empathize and enjoy the smallest of things bringing the biggest of smiles. It was an experience I will be forever grateful for.

“This workshop was something I have never experienced before and it was amazing.”
I have never so closely taught kids art. I noticed that even though kids had never been exposed to such activity before, they were very passionate about it. This experience has motivated me to promote more and more art to the kids or anyone for that matter who has never been exposed to art and the joy it gives.
