Welcome to The CREATE Foundation

CREATE aims to create a more equal society which is actually great as this foundation is giving opportunity to every child and helping in bringing out their talents - Priti Sonar, 16 years, Salaam Bombay.

Vision

An inclusive world where every child, woman, and individual—regardless of their challenges, gender, or economic background—has access to equal opportunities, empowering them to become productive members of society. Our goal is to make Mumbai/Maharashtra the safest place globally, fostering a society built on respect, understanding, and equality.

Mission

To empower and educate children, young adults, and women—especially those from marginalized communities and with physical or mental challenges—through the transformative power of creative arts. We aim to build leadership, teamwork, self-confidence, and communication skills, inspiring individuals to break barriers and become catalysts for positive social change.

In 2002, driven by a deep desire to empower the marginalized and give a voice to those who had been silenced, Raëll Padamsee founded the *Create Foundation* with the vision of transforming lives through the creative arts. What began as a small initiative to provide children from underserved communities with access to theatre and creative expression has since blossomed into a powerful platform for change, impacting the lives of thousands. Through *Life Skills Education*, the foundation empowers marginalized and challenged children, equipping them with essential skills to overcome adversity, become employable, and create a better future.

Over the years, the Create Foundation has evolved, extending its reach to Women’s empowerment, Leadership Development, Gender Sensitivity initiatives, and the Elderly, ensuring that no one is left behind. *“The arts have the power to break barriers, inspire change, and create a world where every individual, regardless of their background, can flourish,” says Raëll*. Today, the Create Foundation continues to be a beacon of hope, where creativity meets empowerment, and dreams know no boundaries.
