After the rain, the rainbow
Support for children with autism and rare diseases
We are a community of parents and specialists helping special children in the Republic of Moldova grow, learn and be part of the world. No labels. With patience, therapy and a great deal of warmth.
Together we change lives, day after day
Small numbers behind which stand great stories of courage.
Our name tells a story
Children with autism are often called “children of the rain” — each one is unique, profound and full of a light the world does not always see at first. We believe that after every rain comes the rainbow. All a child needs is someone who stays by their side until the sun comes out.
The challenge
A diagnosis of autism or a rare disease changes everything. Many families are left alone — without services, without answers and without support.
The support
We offer specialised therapy, a community that understands and unconditional acceptance — for the child and for the whole family.
The hope
Step by step, progress appears: the first words, the first friends, the first steps towards independence. The rainbow appears.
A community of parents who never give up
The NGO “Children of the Rain” was founded in 2014 by parents of children diagnosed with autism and rare genetic diseases. We came together because we knew, from our own experience, how hard it is to face a diagnosis alone.
Acceptance
Every child is valuable exactly as they are. No labels, no judgement.
Professionalism
Evidence-based therapy delivered by dedicated, continuously trained specialists.
Family at the centre
We support the child together with the parents. No one is left alone.
Inclusion
We dream of a world where every child has a place, a voice and a future.

Let’s collaborateStories from our families
When we arrived, my child could barely communicate. Here we found not just therapy, but a family that gave us courage. Now, every day, we see one small step forward.
What matters most is that we are no longer alone. The specialists taught us how to support our child at home, every single day.
Every bit of progress, however small, is a celebration. I see the children blossom and I know our work has meaning.
With the support of our partners
None of this would be possible without those who believe in our children.
Let’s build a warmer future together
For every child waiting for the rainbow, you have the power to make a difference today.
