Who we Are
About Us
Variety is the essence of nature. Each being in nature is different from the other and it is up to us to accept these differences as strengths. A Rainbow Bridge, we believe that like the myriad hues of the Rainbow, each individual is a unique shade, no more, no less, only different and when different colors come together it creates a thing of beauty! Knowing this and accepting this makes the world a happier place.
Extending this thought, each individual has a unique set of needs and an individualistic learning style and must be provided inputs that suit their ability and interest. Rainbow Bridge aspires to become this space that values and respects each person and strives to provide a nurturing environment that meets their needs and strengths and provide them the support they choose.
We provide individuals with challenges and their families the skills to cope with the world around and lead independent lives. As and when the children are ready to face the larger world, we help to transition, in a staggered manner.
Rainbow Bridge also connects the world with these individuals, providing insights into their challenges and opportunities to partner in their journey.
We started or special journey in June 2015. The Peelamedu centre was opened in 2017. On date we have 40 students.
