Cuba - 2027 Dates TBA

Rainbow World Fund has been visiting Cuba since 2012. Our journey is educational, focusing on Cuba's history, politics, and spirituality. We will learn about the realities of Cuba from Cubans. We'll visit projects serving the Cuban people and meet with members of the LGBTQ+ community, church leaders, artists, and leaders across many fields. We will learn about Cuban history, from its colonial past to its revolutionary present, plus how the complex historical relationship between the U.S and Cuba remains ever-changing. During our visit, you will gain insight into the struggles and hopes of the Cuban people. We will visit medical clinics, programs for older people, art institutions, schools, and other historical and cultural sights. The many highlights include participating in the LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations in Havana. Learn more here.

Guatemala - FALL 2026 dates TBA

Rainbow World Fund has been visiting Guatemala since 2004.  Since then, over 100 RWF volunteers have delivered 7000 pounds of medical and school supplies valued at over $900,000, along with $119,000 in grants. Some of the many projects that RWF supports include a women's clinic in Guatemala City, an orphanage in Santa Apolonia, a water project in the Mayan village of Tapesquillo, a school in Santa Cruz del Quiché, Project Safe Passage at the Guatemala City garbage dump, and projects that support the LGBTQ+ community in Guatemala City. We ask participants to collect medical and school supplies during the months before departure. Each person is allowed two 50-pound bags on international flights. Our groups have made a massive difference in the lives of hundreds of people. These vital supplies come from doctors and hospitals in the U.S. that we contact before our trips. The antibiotics, anti-fungals, diabetes medications, and HIV medications all mean the difference between life and death in Guatemala.

Besides delivering much-needed aid, our group acts as ambassadors for LGBTQ+ human rights, meeting with individuals and groups, from school children, rural villagers, shamans, and religious leaders, speaking openly of our experiences as LGBTQ+ people, leading to fantastic conversations and sharing. It has been amazing to see shifts in communities regarding the acceptance of LGBTQ+ people over the last several years. Learn more here.

WASHINGTON, DC 2027 (dates TBA)

Since 2005, RWF volunteers have traveled to Washington, DC as part of the CARE National Advocacy Conference to meet with Congressional officials to advocate on behalf of humanitarian development for many different issues including: international HIV/AIDS funding, changes in the current "abstinence only" earmarks to HIV prevention aid, increased funding for healthcare, climate change adaptation assistance for developing nations, fundamental human rights, and for the protection of refugee populations.

The conference is a two-day annual event where RWF donors and supporters participate in the fight against global poverty at the policy level. Our partner CARE hosts the conference, one of the oldest and most respected humanitarian aid providers. RWF has partners with CARE regularly on several disaster relief and development projects. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how Washington, DC, works and to speak with your Senate and House representatives about critical humanitarian issues. This two-day event is a unique opportunity to help keep American policymakers focused on issues of poverty, women's empowerment, equity, and social justice. The conference features policy seminars by issue experts (in the past, speakers have included Senator Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and economist Jeffrey Sachs) and meetings with Congressional members to deliver this message: "now is the time to end global poverty." In these challenging times, we can help ensure that the voices of people experiencing poverty are heard on Capitol Hill.
