DONATE

Arco Iris is an independent children's home, founded by a great Dutch couple in 1993. Ever since it founding it relies heavily on fundraising and donations. Your help is needed more than ever as due to the economical situation funding is reduced, but the children in Iquitos, Peru, needing help is not reduced.

Why not spend part of your sabbatical, gap-year or study where you can really make a difference.
Why not send part of the money that is spent on luxury in the developed world, to children that need basic education and a safe home in Peru.

Your donations are really needed and are tax deductable as Arco Iris is recognized by the Dutch tax authorities as ANBI. Donations can be made as once of, but also any other donation is needed.

Arco Iris is also working on a variety of projects to become more and more self sustainable however this is not a businessmodel so, we ask people, organization, companies, charities and the government to help us, to make a donation to this magnificant children's home.

Contributions are welcome in many different ways.

Materials: There is a never ending need of materials. Educational materials, books, but also clothes are always needed.
Funding: In caring for the children, Arco Iris goes as far as bringing these children to university. Not until they're graduated are they fully prepared to stand on their own. Covering the school and college fees requieres funding.
Volunteers: The last form of contribution is time and motivation. The caregivers and teachers of Arco Iris are happy to have an extra pair of hands, fresh energy, but too do they like to share opinions and new idea's (from the western world) about nursing children.
If these options are currently not feasible but nevertheless you like to contribute? Start a fundraising, in the neighbourhood, at school, in the church, or via your social network!
