‘THE LARGEST PAINTING TO HAVE EVER BEEN CREATED ON CANVAS’
A PHILANTHROPIC HUMANITARIAN MISSION
As the world went into lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic, artist Sacha Jafri embarked on an extraordinary project –
to create the LARGEST PAINTING EVER CREATED ON CANVAS.
Sacha Jafri’s ‘The Journey of Humanity’ has just become the 2nd Most Expensive Painting to have ever been sold in auction,
selling for a staggering $62 million to a single buyer and doubling its original target of
raising $30 million to support children in need around the world;
in partnership with Dubai Cares, The Global Gift Foundation, UNICEF and UNESCO.
'The Journey of Humanity’, with the project ‘Humanity Inspired’ has
been able to reach more than 3 billion people worldwide through this
single piece of art which took seven months, 20 hours a day, to complete.
Jafri used 1,065 paint brushes and a whopping 6,300 litres of paint to create.
Sacha Jafri is widely regarded as one of the world's most celebrated living artists and is notable
for raising over $60m for various children’s charities around the world from the sale of his
paintings over the last 18 years.
‘HUMANITY INSPIRED’: WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MONEY RAISED?

Providing Funds for Uninterrupted Education by Promoting Digital Connectivity
Vulnerable communities have been disproportionately hit because of the issues already prevalent
pre-Covid-19. These issues have not gone away. Children are still struggling to get an education
whilst many lifeline and education funds in developing countries have been diverted to support the
immediate needs of the Covid pandemic. This stream of funds will support the scaling up of digital
connectivity to ensure equitable access to remote learning for all children and youth in the world.
Initiating up to 5000 Life-saving Education and Medical Hubs
Providing not only a desperately needed education for children, but also a lifeline for families to
survive day-to-day. Children in these hubs will have access to vital education, 3 meals-a-day,
medical attention, access to clean water, advice and aid with issues of Health & Sanitation,
life-saving inoculations and vaccinations.
10 MILLION CHILD LIVES WILL BE SAVED
We strongly believe that Children are the most positive force on the planet and by helping them to
feel SAFE, LOVED & BRAVE , we can give our future generation their wings, their
chance to dream, and to change their lives and the lives of those around them FOREVER.
Aiming to unlearn what we thought we knew, and to re-learn our path ahead, through the HEARTS, MINDS
& SOULS of the Children of the World.
Together let’s
PAINT THE WORLD A DIFFERENT COLOUR…’
