RISE International, NFP Details
RISE builds primary schools in rural Angola, Africa, to educate children, empower communities and contribute to the rebuilding of the country. We believe every child has the right to education, and work to give children the chance to go to school in areas where accessibility is limited or non-existent. We target vulnerable and marginalized children who have been impacted by years of war and its aftermath, those living in poverty that face multiple barriers to education, and deserve the basics that all children deserve. Originally founded as the African Refugee Committee (ARC) in 2001, ARC brought relief, development and support to refugees of the 27-year Angolan civil war, both in Namibia and Zambia. When the war ended in 2002, a generation was left unable to read and write - RISE committed to help rebuild Angola, building primary schools in rural areas.Since 2003, RISE has built 192 schools which give over 138,000 students access to education each year. Thousands of kids have had the chance to go to school ONLY because RISE built a school in their village. The RISE network of schools has also resulted in school feeding, the establishment of libraries in 5 RISE-built schools, jobs, stimulus to the local economy, and wells and clean water at 29 RISE school sites.
