SUPPORTERS TESTIMONIALS

    “Discovering New Artists is a worthwhile project that heavily underlines the potential of our youth in terms of community service and actually providing a template on which much more can be expanded upon. I am heavily impressed with the group's focus on underprivileged children and providing them with books that are tantamount to gold for them. With the vein in which they have started, I see this initiative traveling a lot further than what it has started out.”
    Muhammad Adeel, Pakistan

    “Discovering New Artists is a great initiative by young people who aim to change the passivity around the issue of education and provide education to underprivileged children who do not have access to free quality education. It's a great way to start letting society be aware of the problem and start providing a better outlook for the future of these children.”

    “Discovering New Artists (DNA), a social enterprise has certainly done a remarkable job in educating and promoting underprivileged children of Pakistan through its different productive programs like DNA Book Drive and Art Competition. It is a collective effort of enthusiastic volunteers who are not only willing to promote education through books but to discover every individual’s potential that can be polished into a useful skill but also to reduce inequality through art education. DNA believes in providing opportunities to channel those children to the formal sector of Pakistan and this is what makes it different and more reliable!”
    Faiza Maqsood, Pakistan

    “Discovering New Artists is a deeply humanitarian project as it provides the unprivileged children with one of the basic needs, that is education. The availability of education for those children leads to a realization of their capabilities which is of a great contribution for their future as well as their country's future. Thus, Discovering New Artists is very highly appreciated.”
    Mohamed Ishnaiwer, Palestine

    “Discovering New Artists (DNA) has done tremendous work with a limited budget. DNA team has truly portrayed volunteerism among the youth. The most interesting thing about DNA is its sustainable business model. They provide various workshops to children to draw, paint and appear in national and international competitions, which is truly amazing."
    Shoaib Memon, Pakistan
