Rainbows For All God's Children Charity Profile
Rainbows is an international, not-for-profit organization that fosters emotional healing among children grieving a loss from a life-altering crisis. In April 1983, Rainbows was inaugurated in three Chicago area schools. Twelve additional schoosl added the Rainbows curriculum that year. Today, there are over 1.6 million participants who have experienced Rainbows after their family's storm.
Rainbows has been implemented in 49 of the United States (the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam) and in Australia, Austria, Canada, England, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Saipan, Scotland, Singapore, Switzerland and Wales. As Rainbows and Spectrum sites grew in numbers, other important needs became apparent. Pre-schoolers (ages 3-4) can find support on their level by participating in SunBeams which combines puppetry, manipulative activities, and music, as well an ongoing Parent Guide which reinforces session topics at home with the child's caregiver too.
