Club Rainbow Singapore was established in 1992. A Rotaract Club special camp for children with various chronic and life-threatening illnesses first identified a pressing need to provide emotional, informational, educational, social and financial support to the families and children. It was realised that, at that time, Singapore did not yet have a niche charity providing these comprehensive and sustained support services.
Today, the Club Rainbow Singapore helps more than 460 families and offers a vibrant array of free services including personalised counselling, group sharing sessions, social activities, tuition and financial assistance when necessary. It needs more than one million dollars a year to sustain and continue these essential services.
It has the Rainbow Family Care Centre at Upper Cross Street. This serves as the focal point of many of their services and activities. It also has two other branches located in the KK Women's and Children's Hospital and in the National University Hospital.
Jiang Lei and I like children alot (in fact, Paediatrics is one of my considerations). They are one of most vulnerable in society and have a bright future and lots of untapped potential, especially if we can help with our hearts and donations!
We are helping Club Rainbow because we identify alot with their cause of helping the less fortunate children that are medically ill, especially since we are medical students.
Yours sincerely,
Jiang Lei and Yee Onn
