Rainbows4children Auction 2025 – Own a Unique Work of Art!
A special opportunity to support education
We’re delighted to offer a truly one-of-a-kind artwork in this year’s Rainbows4children auction.
🎨 The Artist
Rahwa, a gifted final-year student at the Nicolas Robinson School in Mekelle, has created this stunning oil painting (60 x 90 cm, unframed for easy worldwide shipping).
🕊 The Artwork
Her piece shows a joyful student holding two white doves – a powerful symbol of the peace needed for every child to complete their education. This work radiates hope, a striking contrast to many of Rahwa’s earlier portraits depicting the suffering of women during the recent war in Tigray.
🚀 The Dream
Rahwa is not only an artist – she’s also a top student in maths and physics, aiming to study aerospace engineering at an international university with a full scholarship. By bidding on her painting, you’ll help support her journey and that of many like her at the Nicolas Robinson School.
