Rainbows4children

Rainbows4children (R4C), a Swiss and UK foundation was set up in memory of Nicolas Robinson, the son of the founder, Max Robinson. With the support of the Tigray Disabled Veterans’ Association (TDVA), an Ethiopian NGO, R4C founded the Nicolas Robinson School (NRS) in 2005, in Mekele, Tigrai state, to educate the children of disabled war veterans of the Ethiopian civil war. The NRS provides education for disadvantaged children in Ethiopia – primarily the children of adults with 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 logo of the school is: “Uplifting Ethiopia”, and its vision is to be the most admired school in Ethiopia, fulfilling each child's unique potential through excellence in education. The school mission is to provide top quality academic and vocational education for any child from the most disadvantaged backgrounds especially those whose parents have disabilities, to provide this education without any entry restrictions of any kind and to develop young individuals who will break the cycle of poverty in their communities and their country. R4C and the NRS are committed to educating the whole child and to create a community of caring students, educators, parents, and staff.
