Red Nose Foundation (RNF), or Yayasan Hidung Merah, is a non-profit arts and education outreach organization based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Established in 2008, the foundation works to help local underprivileged children build dreams.Currently the foundation operates two learning centers across Greater Jakarta: one in a poor fishermen community in Cilincing on the shores of North Jakarta and the other in a trash scavengers’ slum in Jurangmangu Timur, South Tangerang.
In these two learning centers, the foundation provides 120 hours of arts and education classes to over 300 underprivileged children every week. By teaching these children circus skills and other arts while honing their mathematical and English-speaking abilities, we hope they will develop the confidence and courage to accomplish any dream they have for their future.
Through the two learning centers, numerous events held across the city, as well as Red Nose Relief tours to various conflict-ridden and disaster-affected areas across Indonesia, the foundation has reached over 75,000 people across the archipelago.
