Lynna Chandra began her career as an investment banker in 1990, and later as an advisor to businesses across Asia specialising in acquisitions, divestitures and corporate restructuring.

She strongly believes in the power of children to influence and change the world; that kindness shown to a child in need sows the seed for future greatness.

Her first endeavor began in 2002 where she arranged a mission trip for doctors and medical teams from Singapore to conduct reconstructive surgeries for children with hair lip and cleft palate in Indonesia.

In 2004, while caring for a close friend who lived through 13 long years of battle against cancer and finally witnessing her passing, Lynna began her journey to explore the need for a safe haven to provide end of life care for children in the poorest parts of Asia.

It is her sincere hope that Rachel House will commemorate the life of her friend, Rachel Clayton, who showed those around her that no matter how sick you are and how little time you have left, life can be lived to the fullest with dignity and joy, when surrounded by loving attention and care.
