Rainbow Centre Needs Pot of Gold

22nd September 2010

Exodus has been supporting the UK-based charity Kiya Survivors since 2002. Set up in 2001, the Rainbow Centre provides schooling for children in Peru’s Sacred Valley. It provides a base for children with special needs, those who have suffered abuse or who were abandoned because of their disabilities. Since 2001 it has provided a safe haven helping many children to gain independence through education and therapy. However, it now faces a serious threat of closure due to a lack of funds. Can you help by sponsoring a child?

Kiya Survivors have just launched an urgent appeal, known as ‘Mil Padrinos’ (a thousand godparents) - the aim of which is to find sponsors willing to pledge £8 a month to secure the long term future of the Rainbow Centre.

Short term, Exodus have pledged an immediate payment of £5,000, which will enable the Centre to stay open for the next two months. However, what they really need is a steady and reliable income, which would be provided by regular payments from sponsorship of the children.

To sponsor one of the children at the Rainbow centre please go to the Kiya Survivors website.

Your help will be much appreciated.

Another way to support the Rainbow Centre is by visiting in person. Located near Cuzco, it is possible to visit while travelling on any of the trips listed below.
