About Rainbow

About me

My name is Fabienne, I come from Switzerland. Already as child I felt the intention to support people with special needs. That’s the reason I studied Social Work. Since 2007 I have been working in the social sector. 2013 I finished my studies and worked in different non-profit institutions with different kind of disabled people. In 2015 i continued my education in leadership and worked as leader in a social Institution for adult people with mental and physical disabilities. I am greatful to have had this opportunity, it helped me to know myself in a deeper way, my potentials, my limits. All that opened me new ways.

The wish to travel the World i suppressed. I was focused on study and work. An accident in 2019, helped me to change my daily life. In 2020 I decided to give up my job and to follow the feelings of my heart and started travelling.

“NoOne KnOws ToMorrOw” – Life can change!

Intention

During travelling in Tanzania, I could see so many people struggling to get their daily basic needs. I tried my best, to donate as much as my limited travelling-budget could allowe me. Twice i got donations from Switzerland which helped me to build a school in Daressalam and to support various other projects, like education for Masai-girls, circumcision, support for elder people and for people with mental disabilities. My wish to support and sustain more became bigger, as longer as I stayed in Tanzania.

While travelling i met many different people, many of them wanted to do tusiness with me, but i wasn’t looking for it. However, the idea of investing in a tourist boat made sense to me.

While tourists in Tanzania are having fun and spending money for leisure, the locals are looking for small money to feed themselves. So i was asking myself, why not to change this sad fact with Tours and Safaris.

Why Rainbow

The Childrenstory about the Rainbow-fish offers a number of philosophical topics for discussions, about nature, sharing, beauty and happiness. The meaning of the Rainbow-fish story inspired me. I was thinking about the nature of happiness and the good life: How happiness relates to sharing, beauty, friendship, and feelings? Can one be happy and friendless? Can one be happy without being beautiful?

So i asked myself, can tourists be happy – while locals are struggling with live?

With Rainbow I want to contribute a small part to a better world – 35% of the win I donate for social Projects (more Information under “Donations”). After refinancing the initial investment of my social buisness, i want to contribute the major part of the income to social projects in Tanzania.
