FUNDACIÓN ARCOÍRIS
About us

Everything that looks bad today can get better

For us, the rainbow is what appears after the storm. That is the heart of the foundation: creating equal opportunities that mean a light of hope.

Our history

From family project to foundation

We are a nonprofit foundation created on the initiative of Karin Pacheco, a licensed bioanalyst. We began as a family project later joined by others, under the premise of helping people from different perspectives — later organized into programs.

In March 2021 we began working formally under the name Fundación Arcoíris. Today we serve communities across Mérida state, with an active branch in Timotes.

Purpose

To contribute to the sustainable development of vulnerable communities in Mérida state through education, healthcare services and support to improve quality of life.

Mission

To be an organization where people — regardless of origin or circumstance — benefit through our programs, working with other organizations to create lasting impact.

Vision

To provide equal opportunities and improve the quality of life of vulnerable communities, with access to education, medical care and resources for sustainable development.
