Painting A Rainbow Of Hope And Opportunity

Hermanus Rainbow Trust is a non-profit organisation that distributes its services to support centres in Buffelsjag, Gansbaai, Stanford, Hermanus, Zwelihle, Kleinmond and Betty’s Bay. The organisation's main focus is to provide social development services and support, to orphans, vulnerable women and children, and disadvantaged families in impoverished communities. Using various programmes, Hermanus Rainbow Trust is a springboard to basic human rights. These include the right to education, nutrition, clothing, emotional support, and protection. Hermanus Rainbow Trust relies on donations to remain self-sustainable and calls on the public to stand together to better the lives of those who can’t, by sponsoring a child or sharing any amount of money that can be afforded.
