About us
Foster Care – Fostering Hope
We Believe in Their Ability
Moyinoluwa Rainbow Foundation {MRF} is centered on helping children and families living with Down’s syndrome. We believe in the ability of children with additional needs and that people with Down’s syndrome can live life to the fullest. They possess AN EXTRA ABILITY.
Times are changing and we strongly believe that one cannot go wrong with early support and intervention because being proactive from birth onwards reduces future stress of managing Down’s syndrome later on in life. In the past, it was believed that there were many things that people with Down syndrome could not do, when in fact they had never been taught or given the opportunity to try.
We Encourage Effective Healthcare
At MRF, we encourage effective healthcare, good parenting skills, everyday family activities, early intervention and support especially from birth; this helps to aid development. Likewise, in supporting development, good primary education, various therapies, improved fine and gross motor skills, toilet training, behavioral, etiquette, recreational, vocational trainings and community activities are required.
This is why we do not focus on only the children living with Down’s syndrome alone, but we also involve the parents and other family members our children belong to into our curricular. The drive of this, is to equip parents and family members with skills and abilities to support their loved ones as they are the first advocate for these children in our society.
Foster Care – Fostering Hope
Like the world-changers who support our organization, we are focused on making a long-term impact by helping kids living in poverty. We have a bold vision: graduating healthy, educated, empowered and employed young adults from our program.
The students supported by our programs face major barriers to accessing education; many are orphaned, living in extreme poverty or dealing with other difficult family circumstances.
OUR MISSION
To create an enabling environment for children living with Down Syndrome by educating, harnessing their potentials and integrating them into society.
OUR VISION
To create a world where people living with Down Syndrome can live life to it’s fullest.
