    Our children deserve a beautiful future where they are safe, happy & nourished

    Our children deserve a beautiful future where they are safe, happy & nourished – with access to quality education, proper healthcare & a safe wholesome environment.

    The Rainbow Family Child Support Programme has been operating in Sri Lanka for the past 10 years and is committed to empower children through Education to help them build a good future for themselves.

    We strive hard to prevent Child Marriage and Child Labour ; while actively working towards the reform of Child Care systems and Deinstitutionalisation of Children – enabling them to grow up with their families during their formative years.

    International Children’s Day Celebrations – 2016

    Our Rainbow Family kids celebrated the International Children’s Day 2016, together with school children at BT/BC/Al – Iqbal Vidyalaya on the 6th of October 2016. Our partner organization SEERA and Rainbow Family Children made arrangements to honour World Children’s Day at Al Iqbal Vidyalaya in Kattankudy, Batticaloa district, according to their capacity.

    The partner organization consulted our Rainbow Family Programme Officer in the field; who advised them to select a vulnerable school in border village for the celebration. Hence they identified BT/Bc/Al Iqbal Vidyalaya, a school accommodating children in grades 1 -5.

    About 25 children from Rainbow Family and 60 children from Al Iqbal Vidyalaya took part in the event where our Rainbow Family Children graciously donated Mango trees commemorating Children’s Day; on behalf of Rainbow Family. Each kid contributed LKR 50/= to purchase the mango tree saplings. The event proceeded well, where the School Management extended its fullest support and cooperation and were welcoming hosts. In the meantime all the children introduced themselves to each other, exchanged gifts and wishes; and some became good friends. The event served its purpose of instigating harmony and solidarity.

    Speaking on behalf of the school management, the Principal Mr.VTM Haniffa of Al Iqbal Vidyalaya said “Our school started 15 years ago during the period when the people living in this area were affected by adversities several times; mainly by decades of civil war and the Tsunami in 2004. All of them are thus living under the poverty line, battling hardships and struggling to make ends meet. We were honored to celebrate World Children’s Day for the first time with orphan and destitute children. Actually, I am very happy to have seen this event take place. The Rainbow Family children have donated some trees for our school, which is an act of Sadhakathul Jariya, Masha Allah. May Allah reward all the children and RF well-wishers”.

    Our Rainbow Family Child Fathima Iska Gaffoor (Child ID 6519), spoke eagerly, saying “Today I got an opportunity to plant a tree with my hand in tribute of Children’s Day on behalf of the RF Program. Alhamdhulillah! I am proud to be a part of the Rainbow Family.”

    Rainbow Family

    The Rainbow family program is uniquely designed to bring dignity to the lives of suffering children due to abject poverty around the world to give them hope for a brighter future. Muslim Aid Sri Lanka has been implementing the Rainbow Family programme with the support from its local partner organizations to uplift and enhance the destitute and orphan children of all faiths, genders, ethnicities and abilities in the ten most needy and underprivileged areas of Sri Lanka.  Financial support is provided in order to improvise and ease the burden of the kids. Our main objective is to not only provide financial support for the kids under the Rainbow family programme, but enable these kids to live along with their parents, siblings and loved ones in order to develop an emotional bond whilst receiving monthly funds.

    Hence these kids have the opportunity of being with their family as well as continue their education without any barriers. Our focal point is to keep our RF kids happy financially and emotionally. These sponsorship funds are utilized by the children mainly for their Educational Development which will always be at the forefront of the programme as we, Muslim Aid comprehend that education is the root of eradicating poverty. The financial support also enables these children to obtain healthcare, food and clothing. Muslim Aid also focuses on the emotional and psychological development of the child, as we comprehend that the personal as well as well as academic development can mold a child to be a better and successful individual in the society.

    Further7, we carry out mentoring, psychological support such as counseling and also provide motivational and leadership training programmes for the betterment of the child’s future.  We, Muslim Aid believe that our Rainbow Family program gives the self-confidence and motivation that will mold the child into becoming a strong independent individual who then will solely carry the torch for their bright future.
