Founder

Armoogum Parsuramen
Armoogum Parsuramen began his career as a teacher. He became interested in politics, starting as a village councillor and quickly rose through the ranks to become Minister of Education, Arts, Culture and Science from 1983 to 1995. He then joined the World Bank as a Senior Advisor in Washington D.C., before taking up the position of Regional Director of UNESCO in Paris, Senegal and then India.
In 2011, he retired and, back in Mauritius, created the Global Rainbow Foundation, a way for him to achieve his new mission: to help the most vulnerable. Serving Humanity is what drives him, it is both a personal fulfillment and an achievement. He owes his success to the religious values instilled in him by his parents, and his inspiration to emblematic figures such as Gandhi and Mother Teresa, whom he had the honor of meeting in Calcutta in 1994.
