About The Red Pencil
The Red Pencil is a registered non-profit organization with offices in Singapore (where it was created in 2011 and holds an Institution of Public Character (IPC) status), Geneva, Dubai and Belgium.
Our mission is to bring the power of arts therapy to children, adults and families who have been through traumatic life circumstances - natural disaster, displacement as a result of conflict zones, human trafficking, life-threatening disease, violence and abuse - for which they have no words.
Through arts therapy (drawing, painting, dancing and music), The Red Pencil helps break the vicious cycles of helplessness and violence, reduces stress and trauma and offers a way of expression towards balance, self-empowerment and resilience.
Since 2011, we have run missions in 24 countries and impacted over 17,000 beneficiaries. We have worked alongside close to 200 partner organisations, with the help of around 1,300 volunteer arts therapists worldwide.
