Background Information
The Red Nose Foundation (RNF) is a non-profit art and education outreach organization established in 2008.

Traditionally, the RNF runs three major programs for children and young people: 1) An Arts and Education Outreach Program using visual arts and music to teach science and math in line with the national curriculum, as well as classes in English, basic literacy, tutoring, equivalency exam preparation, 2) The Formal Education Support System Program offering full and partial scholarships for children in grades 1-12; and, 3) The Performance Troupe, a Social Circus Program.

With EMpower funding, the RNF piloted a new Vocational Training Program in 2016, which is run out of the Community Centre in Cilincing, a poor fishermen community in North Jakarta. The main objective is to increase educational outcomes as well as employability and life skills, and access to decent employment for disadvantaged and underprivileged young people living in high poverty pockets in Jakarta, Indonesia to ease their transition to adulthood in a globalized setting.
