The Charity pack 130 will support for the Year 2009/2010 is Rainbows4children.

Rainbows4children is an independent foundation set up in memory of Nicolas Robinson to help the children of Ethiopia through the support of the work of both international charities and local charities.

Recognising the need of donors for feedback, we personally visit locations where money has been given for projects and then verify how the money has been spent and provide feedback. See

http://www.rainbows4children.org/ for more information.

Rainbows4children Charter

Their aims are 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 used for the benefit of children with nothing taken out for administration costs.

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 politics or religion.

7.   Provide equal opportunities for girls and boys.
