Induz: Enabling Creativity & Innovation through the Arts

05/19/2025

Hello dear friends,
As many of you know, after Induz shut down, we started a new chapter with CultureX — continuing our mission through art, music, and culture.

We’re now hosting our first Walk & Run fundraiser on June 14 at beautiful River Islands to support programs like:
• The Santosh Orphanage in Bangalore
• Music & dance therapy in Uganda
• A new arts program in a low-income school in West Bengal
• And local initiatives for shelters here in California

We’re hoping to revive even more programs — and we need your support to make it happen.
Please help us by joining the event and spreading the word.
It would be so lovely to reconnect!

Aug 14, 2021: Induz is very proud to sponsor an Art workshop for children of Santosh Charity home in Bangalore, India.
The theme of the workshop was Emerging out of Covid - Hope and positivity !!
The children demonstrated passion and creativity in coming up with artwork that aligned to this theme.
We had a small feat for the children after the workshop. Everyone and their families were provided monthly groceries which INDUZ has been doing throughout the pandemic. We also have toys to the children. Overall, a very positive outcome!! Thanks to Mr Isaac for his support in driving this initiative.

Induz Lends a Helping Hand Towards Covid-19 Relief

Induz being an Arts and Education focused non-profit organization, has always stepped up to help the community during natural disasters Ex. Nepal Earthquake, Haiti Earthquake, Floods in Kerala India etc.

Covid-19 is a disaster impacting everyone; and it is the worst hit for people in remote areas and those that are living in poverty. Induz has been helping the children and their families engaged in our programs with support for groceries, sanitizers, masks, soap etc.

Relief Effort for Orphans in Mfangano Island, Kenya: We work with George Oko in Kenya and have been supporting over 120 children and their families with groceries, masks and sanitizers. These are orphan kids who live in extreme poverty.
The children are part of the Island School where Induz has built an Arts center and supports ongoing arts, music and dance classes.

Relief Effort for Children with Nodding Head Syndrome in Uganda : We work with Jolly Grace Okot, founder of Wend Africa to support children with nodding head syndrome with Soap and groceries. Induz supports these children on going with Dance and Music therapy sessions.

Relief Effort for Orphans at Santosh Hime, Bangalore, India: We work with Isaac Raj, who runs the Children's home in Bangalore. The children have gone back to their homes and their guardians' place and are struggling with the impact of Covid. Induz has supported them with groceries, sanitizers and masks.
Induz has been providing ongoing Arts, Music, Dance, Sewing classes for kids at the orphanage for the last 12 years.

Induz will continue to support them and would appreciate your help/donation towards these efforts so that we can help them withstand the terrible impact of Covid.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely,

Ray Mitra

Nov 2019 Mfangano Island, Kenya
Visit to Mfangano Island, Kenya in 2015 and meeting the children at St James school got us excited to initiate an arts project there which we subsequently started. We sponsor arts, music and dance programs for the children, along with class room furnitute. Several of the children there are orphans or hiv+. We have worked closely with George who manages the programs on site. Having seen the commitment and dedication this far, leading to a very successful program ; Induz has decided to sponsor the construction of class rooms.
Construction has begun and we are excited to see though the completion of this project. This will make a huge impact for the children. We will continue to provide periodic updates on the construction.
Thank you all for your support and good wishes.
