Healing through Laughter and Lightness
We are professional healthcare clowns, offering support to facilitate emotional well-being in hospitals and economically deprived areas. Through therapeutic games, we help people reconnect with their inner joy and build resilience.

Clowning
One definition of clowning is that it is “a child-like state of generosity and spontaneity”. Healthcare clowning, or medical clowning, is a form of expressive therapy that uses the skills and techniques of professional clowns to support and comfort patients, caregivers and doctors and other staff in hospitals. The games clown doctors play help reduce anxiety and stress, and bring lightness and joy.

Support Us
We are looking for funds to:
-
Provide remuneration to our clown doctors and admins, which will make our work more sustainable.
-
Train and practise, which will make our work more effective.

Purchase costumes, accessories and administrative requirements.
(Please note: We are not FCRA registered and therefore, cannot accept donations from foreign citizens or entities.)
Our aim is to reach at least 3,000 direct beneficiaries across hospitals and other vulnerable groups annually. As of now,
we are able to reach only 1,500 owing to funding constraints.
