    Rainbow House Iligan is an orphanage in the Philippines, that was created in December 2011, after the devastating impact of Typhoon Washi (Sendong). The typhoon killed over 1300 people and created significant issues of displacement for many residents of Iligan. Unfortunately, there were many children tragically impacted by this disaster - losing both their families and homes.

    Rainbow House provides a safe and loving home environment, with a focus on quality education for orphaned children in Iligan. Through both corporate sponsorship and private donations, we hope to further expand Rainbow House to other parts of the Philippines, as well as Bangladesh, Thailand and India.

    Please feel free to check out the Rainbow House website: www.rainbowhouseiligan.com and follow us on linked in, Facebook and YouTube. Most importantly, please consider sponsoring a child or making a corporate donation. For those organisations that have operations in the region, it is a wonderful way to give back to the community.
