Pencil Technologies Ltd is an ethical for-profit company whose mission is to alleviate poverty, improve education and strengthen the voice of the world's rural poor. It was founded in 2005 by Tom Donaldson, an inventor and mobile applications researcher.

Pencil focuses on innovating entirely new communication technologies specifically for those parts of the world that might otherwise be left on the wrong side of the digital divide. Our target is mainly Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia at present, but we work with anyone that can benefit from what we do.

Pencil is a small enterprise, focused on bringing the right partners together to make a real difference in heath, education, poverty and quality of life. We may be small, but we think big.
