What is Rainbow Home?
Rainbow Home is a respite heaven (luxurious house in a peaceful, nature loving and somewhat rural surroundings) for the children with a life threatening condition. Its basic aim is to give children and their families a temporary “escape” from the stress of routine medical treatment. Rainbow Home offers practical and emotional non-medical support. It is carefully designed to provide a relaxing and comfortable environment, so the families can spend quality time together for a period of 3 days in a year. It is well equipped with a kitchen, an independent family room, an activity room, (A playroom with games for younger children, modern technology for older children and a library for the family), a playground and swimming pool facilities. The entire Rainbow Home is a non-smoking area. The food is vegetarian, homemade and wholesome. Staff/Volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds/experiences and their personal skills help enhance the child’s experience. They all have a sense of humor.
