NGO 751 registered Cambodian Charity
Rainbow Foundation was established February 2006. We are a small scale NGO working with underprivileged children in Sihanouk Ville, Cambodia (Registered Cambodian Charity Reg. 751)
We are primarily a home for children who are underprivileged, and do not have the fundamental means for stable living. Our mission is to provide care for the children with education, a balanced diet, a safe home and a caring family environment. We are a long-term project and our purpose is to provide opportunities and the means for a child to build their own future. We ensure that the children live in a clean, safe and stable environment and to provide for all their needs. We promote freedom to practice all religions, and provide a living environment infuenced by both Cambodian and Western cultures.
We currently have 10 children living in our new house which was completed in February 2009. The new house has a ten-year lease, enabling us to plan long-term goals for the children.
Our Objectives are to: • Maintain a clean, secure and stable home environment for 10 children • Have up-to-date supplies of clothing and school uniforms, toothbrushes and all other personal necessities • Provide a full, balanced, healthy diet • Provide a standard Khmer education with additional home schooling and English instruction • Offer full, quality medical care • Provide adult supervision and guidance • Maintain an environment which encourages Cambodian culture • Allow freedom to practice all religions • Provide jobs for Cambodian citizens • Increase awareness of Cambodian and Worldwide issues • Support other Cambodian children on a non-residential basis through our targeted outreach program • Support the Rainbow Foundation Clothes Shop which generates funds and awareness for the Foundation
Our Goals for the Future: • Organize workshops for children to discover and develop new skills • Expand Rainbow School to include computer classes and French classes • Provide lasting and ongoing support after the children have grown and left the organization • Create sponsorships and increase fundraising • Open a second home for children in Sihanouk Ville, Cambodia • Raise funds to purchase a minibus for our excursions to the children’s families and for the children of our outreach program • Encourage long-term (1 year +) foreign volunteers to teach English and other skills on a regular basis at the house
