Organisation
The Rainbow AirBridge Trust
Our mandate is to focus on delivering essential commodities, medicines
and services to needy communities using volunteer private pilots and
aircraft. We work with registered aid organisations within South Africa
to identify communities in need. We then co-ordinate pilots, aircraft,
donated goods and services as well as specialist skills if necessary
and deliver this aide to these communities on a regular basis. We are
an independent, non-profit, trust organization, registered as such;
I Trust 5977/04 our NPO number: 038-337-NPO, and we have 18A tax exemption.
Documents can be forwarded on request.
Those who benefit are;
-
Donors receive media exposure. We guarantee that 100% of their donated
money or goods will be delivered to the specified community or will
be utilised in ensuring that delivery. There is an opportunity for
company team building in exciting logistical challenges.
-
Welfare organisations benefit by having these services delivered by
volunteer pilots and aircrafts. They are exposed to a new interest
group introducing their children to aviation.
-
Pilots benefit and aviation as a whole benefits, flying skills are
utilized, new horizons are crossed, and pilots get the opportunity
to take part in a volunteer organisation benefiting South African
communities.
We plan sorties to all 4 corners of the compass;
- North to Venda - the Ga Magowa Centre.
- South to Ficksburg - Angels Home and Sunbeam Kids
- South East to Mthatha - SOS Children’s Village and Bethany Children's
Home.
- East to Eshowe- Schools supported by JP Morgan.
- West to Kimberley - Christina Kiddie children's Home
