Terms and conditions

Introduction

Riding the Rainbow initiative was created in response to the influx of refugees from Ukraine. Riding the Rainbow started with the donation of a single bike from a garage but now facilitates the donations of other items to young refugees. The app was created by Ukrainian developers and is the first of its kind in Europe, it has plans to expand across national borders and serve refugees from diverse backgrounds. Through the app donations are made easier, refugees and donors register in a few simple steps, and the registration process also enhances the safety of all users. The app is location-based, meaning it addresses logistical and additional environmental concerns.

The Riding the Rainbow app is an invaluable platform that allows long-term residents and refugees to engage directly, using technology to realize further objectives beyond a one-off donation. The innovative app is designed to be a platform for the broader integration and inclusion of refugees. It is also hoped that this innovative app will further transcend borders and become an international platform for individuals and organizations looking to make a difference in the lives of young refugees. The app lends itself easily to a variety of causes and can be easily adapted for diverse sociopolitical and cultural contexts.
