Grounded in Art Driven by People. Empowering Communities.
From the hills of Champawat to communities across India, Rang Kaarwaan is a grassroots, women‑led movement redefining education, gender equity and community empowerment through art, dialogue and radical love. We build spaces where people explore themselves, question systems and imagine new possibilities. Through theatre and the arts, we nurture intergenerational changemakers, combining expressive learning with long‑term mentoring, capacity‑building and collective action.

Building change from the ground up, together
The heart of Rang Kaarwaan
We are daughters, dreamers, theatre‑makers and the change we have been waiting for.
Here, a fellow becomes a teacher, a child becomes an author and a poem becomes a protest. This is not charity; it is transformation — led by women and local leaders building change from the ground up.
Creating Ripples
We don't run programs. We nurture revolutions—quiet, steady, and deeply rooted.
We don’t run programs; we nurture quiet, steady revolutions. Our work sits at the crossroads of education, gender justice and community empowerment. We design immersive journeys through theatre, literature, visual storytelling and dialogue, co‑created and led by the communities themselves.
