Mission
To improve the quality of life of communities in Mérida state through comprehensive health and humanitarian assistance: accessible medical services, nutritional security, mental health care and defending the rights of people living with HIV.
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.
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.
