About The Red Pencil
The Red Pencil is an international humanitarian organization founded in Singapore which brings the healing power of arts therapy (drawing, music, movement and dance) to children, adults and families who have been through overwhelming and traumatic life circumstances such as natural disaster, displacement as a result of conflict zones, human trafficking, life-threatening disease, violence and abuse, for which they may have no words.
The creative process of arts therapy allows our beneficiaries to express the unspeakable, to experience release and relief, to find new resources, gain self-confidence and feel empowered to move on towards a more hopeful and happier life. At The Red Pencil, we are dedicated to the resilience and long-term recovery of the most vulnerable from all walks of life, to allow them to grow and become healthy and happy human beings for the world of tomorrow.
The Red Pencil has conducted missions with local NGOs and established international humanitarian organizations globally to offer and incorporate arts therapy as part of their existing psychosocial support to the largest number of children and families. Our resources draw from a pool of 1,500 volunteer arts therapists worldwide.
Through arts therapy, 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. Anyone, anywhere, at any stage in their life, can benefit from arts therapy.
