MILESTONES

  • We have served over 60,000,000 meals in our Feeding Centers since 1995.

  • Over 1.5 million children’s and prenatal vitamins are distributed by Rainbow Network each year.
  • Rainbow Network’s 11 full-time physicians perform over 50,000 consultations each year with over 1,000,000 consultations already made in our medical clinics since 1995. Our doctors distribute medicines as or if needed in each consultation.
  • Rainbow Network has graduated more than 2,200 children from high school with our scholarship program. Many of the families in the communities we work in never had anyone go to high school before. None of these kids would have been able to go to high school without Rainbow Network!
  • There are currently over 1,200 high school students enrolled in our high school scholarship program. All from these remote rural communities.

  • Approximately 4,000 small business loans are active at any one time with an average of 100 new loans each week. Since 1995, we have provided over 100,000 loans averaging $280 each for people to start and grow their income.  All loans are for business opportunities only!
