Our Mission

RISE builds primary schools in rural Angola to educate children, empower communities and contribute to the rebuilding of the country.

Who We Are

We believe every child has the right to education. While the Angolan Ministry of Education concentrated their rebuilding efforts primarily in urban areas, RISE focused on bringing the opportunity for education to children in remote, nearly inaccessible regions of the country. Since 2003, RISE has built 177 schools and over 124,000 students have been impacted. Our model works, it is collaborative, scalable and has a proven track record of success.
