Our dream
We dream of a city where is a place for everyone. In which people with wealth and people in (social) poverty live together and work together. In which we are involved in each other's lives and reinforce each other. Where people that are capable to donate, contribute in order to help develope society. In which the city is everyone's home. Where nobody needs to feel desolated.
Our mission and our policy
We stimulate the development of people living in (social) poverty, encouraging them to actively take part in society.
Because we believe that every human life is valuable and every human is worthwhile, we want to give people whose (social) poverty has had dire effects on their lives a chance of participating in our society according to what they want and what they are capable of.
Our approach
The city is constantly changing and so does the need of vulnerable people in the city. We frequently start new projects that respond to their needs. To measure the impact of our practices, de Regenboog uses various instruments. We apply the results of the measurements in justifications to our funders, in evaluation meetings with our clients and volunteers and to adjust our policies.
Board of Directors & Supervisory Board
De Regenboog Groep has a board of directors, consisting of one person that has the daily management. And a supervisory board.
Forty years ago, the Reverend Wouters found himself caring for young, homeless addicts in Vondel Park. Nowadays, we are a large organisation offering care to the most vulnerable people in Amsterdam.
collaborations
We collaborate with other organizations in Amsterdam to make our city a better place.
