Our Mission:

Launched in 2018 in memory of Saja Tourbah Dada, The Saja Foundation aims to bring art therapy to cancer wards and support emerging artists.

Support Emerging Artists: We will work closely with Outset Contemporary Art Fund,
harnessing their expertise and knowledge of the UK and international art world. We aim to create a
legacy by supporting artists in public institutions and facilitate the acquisition of their works to
museums and galleries internationally. This will form the Saja Foundation Portfolio. As Outset’s
partner, our donations will not only help to fund these projects, but also grant the Saja Foundation
great exposure.
We are forming new relationships everyday and will update you once our agreements are aligned.

Provide Art Workshops and Therapy for Patients: In a cyclical scheme, we want to make an investment in people to do good. As a result, the supported artists and students will contribute to the Charity’s goals through involvement in art workshops at cancer wards in the UK and Lebanon. Additionally, a percentage of the funding will be used to provide professional art therapists and teachers with the means to conduct the sessions. Our aim is to provide an artistic outlet for children and young adults to cope with the serious hardships that are associated with cancer.

Art for Joy Program, Lebanon: Currently, we have the ‘Art for Joy’ program taking place at the Karantina Governmental Hospital within the art, pediatrics unit. The sessions are focused around free self-expression (abstract art) with music incorporated sometimes, where different techniques are experimented with, covering basic graphism skills for very young children.
Our previous programs in Lebanon include our work with ‘My School Pulse’ Charity, where professional art therapists were hired alongside volunteers to provide art therapy workshops at 7 different hospital wards across Beirut.
Outset Collaboration, United Kingdom: In close collaboration with Outset, we organise art workshops in cooperation with artists and curators in hospitals in Greater London.
