Rainbow Children’s Home Handicraft Project
January 26th, 2010 by CraigHey Friends,
We sincerely hope this post finds you all well and on your way to accomplishing your New Year’s resolutions. We are on our way to accomplishing ours, slowly but surely. Please take a moment to read over this message that we just received concerning the orphanage in which we worked in Nepal during our trip around the world and are now sponsoring a child. If you can help financially, great. If not, at least please pray for this opportunity for the women and children around Pokhara to benefit from this project and improve their living conditions. I assure you, the need is quite evident there. If you want to donate and can’t get it done with the bank info which they provide on their website listed below, please let us know and we can either coach you through setting up an account with a company called “Money to Nepal” or we can give you the link to our paypal account and we will forward the money to Rainbow Children’s Home. Please be a part of this project. P.S.-RCH is still looking for sponsors for some of the 26 children currently living in the orphanage. Please check out this http://orphancarenepal.org/help.php link if you are interested in sponsoring one of these amazing children. If you pick one to sponsor, let us know and we may be able to give some insight into the child, as we have met most of them…

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Our aim is to help the disadvantaged women and children of Nepal. We wish to give disadvantaged women of Nepal independence through giving them work and making them financially strong, enabling them to support their children. Equipping a poor woman with the skills and resources to market her talents will in turn provide her and her family with a source of stable, constant income. We plan to establish a small handicraft industry in order to give job security to disadvantaged women, thereby providing women and their children with shelter, food and education. The women we help will be able to live a family life and lives will be saved through our small handicraft project. Our commitment is to produce the finest handmade products possible using only the highest quality raw materials available.

Sustainable development in the long run is better and necessary for making our home (Rainbow Children Home) sustainable and independent in financial aspect. It will generate some regular fund for sustaining our organization (RCH). The other objective is to help the Rainbow Children Organization financially and it helps the children to learn about small Industry. After some years, our children will be big enough and finish their school education and they might be joining this handicraft industry, they will earn money and will be independent, it helps to manage their life by their selves. At least they can earn their daily salary. Other aim of this project is committed to uplift socio-economic conditions of the socially deprived and economically backward especially poor and helpless widow and divorced women through imparting technical know-how and appropriate skill at the local level.

Profit
Actually the aim of this project is not to make business or make money; even some profit will come to us. Our aim is to give job opportunities and give financial independence to the helpless women, so we divide the profit to the worker as well as we will put some profit in Rainbow Children account for the children of Rainbow. If some one buys our product, their money directly goes to raw materials, wages and small profit will go to Rainbow Children Home Organization.
FUNDS
Price = Raw Materials + Staff Wages + Overheads + 5% Profit (for RCH)
We have included a margin of 5% that is used to provide our members with additional skills training, manufacturing equipment, performance bonuses, scholarships, and aid to members who become injured or sick. RCH will manage an Employee Welfare Fund for the employee’s help and support to be used if employees have monetary problems.
