Rainbows4children

Rainbows4children is an independent foundation set up in memory of Nicolas Robinson (son of the founder) and provides education for disadvantaged children in Ethiopia – primarily the children of adults suffering from disabilities such as loss of limbs and blindness. 100% of donations go directly to the educational projects. This is made possible because all the administration work is carried out entirely by unpaid volunteers. The patron of Rainbows4children is the renowned BBC journalist, Michael Buerk.

Our charter is to:
1. Help young people in Ethiopia to have better lives, with a primary focus on education.
2. Be organised in a fully transparent way, with full accountability to our donors. 100% of all money raised will be spent on children.
3. Provide feedback to donors on all projects.
4. Look for sustainable projects, which eventually can be maintained and funded by the local community.
5. Select projects, which are catalytic in nature. Relatively small amounts of money can provide training, which enables local people to help each other.
6. Provide assistance regardless of gender, politics or religion.
