Children in Cave Creek, Arizona USA
September 11th Project


When you teach children that their actions make a difference, their lives will be different!

By giving children tools for creative discovery, The Umbrella Project shows our Youngest Citizens of our World Society that they can make a mark!

Throughout time, through the common language of art, children around the world create in the innate desire to reveal and heal their hearts. Knowing the importance of self-expression, The Umbrella Project provides a way for children to communicate their visions of hope and healing and in the process show that they care for other children in crisis. Under our symbolic umbrella of protection, well, ill, and challenged children learn social action through exhibitions of their one-of-a-kind umbrellas which then raise funds to help other children in need.

Wherever Life's storms impact young people, we are there!

ONE WORLD ONE HEART to HELP HAITI

In the aftershock of the Earthquake in Haiti, The Umbrella Project proposes a national endeavor to help survivors restore physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Through the symbolic image of protection, the umbrella serves as a powerful expression of care. Painted by school-age children the umbrella becomes a vision of hope, and a means for young people to raise funds to help others in need.

The Umbrella Project endeavors to teach children that we are all connected through the common language of art.  Every child can make their mark, and every child can help another through creativity.  Through painting to help others, children learn they can make a difference.  They gain self-esteem and learn social action.

It is time to realize that an earthquake in one part of the world
causes global ripples as the energy of disaster, through the International network, touches our hearts and homes.  We are one people connected through our common love of life.

At this time of trial, we need to come together as one family to help each other, not only survive, but thrive as a Global Community.


Since 1990, The Umbrella Project, activating global community service through art, has responded with education and funds wherever the need is greatest.

  • When Native American children need school funds
  • When cancer patients need to brighten their hospital rooms
  • When challenged children need to know they can
  • When homebound children need hot meals
  • When children and their parents need new homes
  • When the youngest victims of 9/11 need scholarships
  • When children need a reason to drop drugs
  • When exiled children need to know they matter
  • When orphans and AIDS victims need to know others care
  • When children separated by religion and war need solidarity
  • When the indigenous tribes of the world need to be seen and heard
  • When poverty stricken villages need to know they are not forgotten
  • When catastrophic events eradicate homes and lives
  • When victims of Planet Earth's upheavals need a helping hand

We go wherever the need is greatest and request the assistance of children throughout the world to help us in our global efforts to bring all children in under an umbrella of protection.

A Downpour of Love

The recent Tsunami disaster has once again compelled us into action. We are reaching out to schools and groups to join The Umbrella Project in teaching young children across America that they inhabit ONE WORLD - that events occurring around the globe impact them at home. In a world where children don't feel safe as the aftershocks of the Asian Tsunami crisis reverberate and images of loss and survival tidal wave through our lives, we have immediately activated One World, One HeART, Visions of Hope!

Your personal involvement at this critical time will assist us to carry our message across the US encouraging our children to become involved in helping the tiny victims in Asia recover and restore their lives, faith, and future through creative giving. We rely on your outpouring of love (financial and/or community organization) to support this healing venture.
