Operation Rainbow Inc

Over the past 45 years, Operation Rainbow’s volunteer surgeons and medical teams have donated more than 1 million volunteer hours in order to:

• Bring relief to more than 18,000 children and young adults suffering from congenital deformities or chronic, debilitating injuries through corrective surgeries.
• Provide pain and symptom management and physical therapy to more than 85,000 children and young adults confronting orthopedic problems or chronic injuries. 
• Train hundreds of doctors and nurses in host countries in orthopedic-specific surgical techniques and post-operative care, providing the specialized knowledge they need to treat complex bone injuries and conditions in the future.  

Operation Rainbow’s mission is to help indigent children and young adults in underprivileged populations of more than 18 countries in Central, South America, India, Africa and Haiti. Our doctors and nurses are dedicated to performing free orthopedic surgery for children and young adults in developing countries worldwide who do not have access to related medical procedures or equipment. 

Operation Rainbow also provides continuing education to international health care providers to encourage medical self-sufficiency.

Over the past four and a half decades, Operation Rainbow has provided more than 18,000 children with an estimated $85 million in medical care for under $4.75m!
