The Rainbow Dreams Trust
Founder and Director Dannie Kagan established the charity in 2006 with the aim of fulfilling the hopes and dreams of underprivileged children and adults. Their focus has been refined over the years and work with the clear goal of supporting underprivileged youth to successfully navigate through the many real dangers inherent in growing up in under-resourced communities. It is based in Cape Town where the majority of the children the charity work is focused. Very occasionally it has become involved in projects elsewhere in South Africa.
They operate township youth clubs in and run youth camps for those underprivileged and additionally challenged, often by illness or disability. The Rainbow Dreams Trust fund the Beyond Environment Expectations Project and run a number of one-off Dream Catcher projects. These projects are varied and include the sponsorship of a talented dance troupe to attend a major arts festival; providing a route to education for a young blind learner; and the upgrade of a successful but poorly equipped community childcare center.
Their projects are managed by volunteers from within the community and strive to make the most out of the funds donated to them. The Rainbow Dreams Trust works in communities where a small amount of money can make a noticeable difference, and their volunteers understand the value of money and how to utilize it to the best effect. They monitor costs very tightly. Every project is budgeted separately and can be reported on individually thanks to Desiree our efficient and organized bookkeeper. We are more than happy to make our yearly audits and specific project financial information available to those who may be interested in partnering with us.
