You’re walking into a low-income community with a guitar and a song. You’re greeted by children running towards you, smiling. They want to know everything about you, but they mostly want to touch the guitar. So, you pull out your guitar from its case and hold it in front of a young child who slowly strums the strings. The child’s face lights up with joy- “I just made music!”, their big smile says. Your face lights up seeing her joy, and from that moment on, the world is a happier place.

Welcome to STRUM A SMILE– our initiative inviting you to donate instruments, supplies, funds, time and love to brighten lives. Got an instrument lying around? Got some spare time in the week? Got some funds you want to donate? Then join our nationwide campaign to light up India with music!

There are four ways in which you can help Manzil Mystics…

Contribute Money

By donating as little as ₹100, you can play a vital role in supporting the logistics of our campaign. Small contributions help us restore and repair instruments, preparing them to be gifted in perfect condition to individuals, schools, and organisations. Larger financial contributions of ₹4,000 and more can allow us to purchase new instruments, or procure used instruments in bulk and repair them, fit for a class of 30!

Imagine the difference you can make. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to transforming lives through music. Donate here

CONTRIBUTE TIME

Your time is invaluable. By giving an hour a week for two months, you can bring music and essential life skills (both of which most of us take for granted) to marginalised communities and completely transform them! Whether playing in local spaces or teaching children, your involvement will create moments of joy and connection which will never be forgotten.

This is your chance to give back through the universal language of music, creating smiles where they’re needed most. Tell us how you can help via the opportunities form here

CONTRIBUTE IN KIND

Many musicians can’t pursue their passion due to a lack of resources. We connect those in need of instruments with individuals who simply wish to give. By donating in-condition guitars, ukuleles, keyboards, strings, plectrums, etc you can directly impact lives.

As an organisation, every resource in our operations has been donated to us- even non-musical items such as carpets, ACs, and office laptops. If you don’t have an instrument to donate, you can alternatively check our resource requirement list here

CONTRIBUTE LOVE

If you know individuals or organisations that can contribute their expertise, time, or resources, connecting them with us is another impactful way to help. Whether they have an unused instrument or are musicians, educators, or professionals in fields like gender issues, health, finance, or legal rights, their involvement can enrich our programs. You can spread love simply by creating a simple connection!
