Rise the SCHOOL
The Rise School has over 100 students, who are taught basic maths, science and spelling in both English and Hindi. There are 7 classes all with teachers who teach from kindergarten till grade 2.
WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT GROUP
The Women's Empowerment project was opened in late 2012. Local women attend the school and the Rise students teach their mothers and grandmothers their daily lessons. These women have now formed a group coming together daily to share stories and skills, such as sewing, reading and writing benefiting the whole community. Volunteers are encouraged to share any of their own skills with this keen group of women, young and old. Some of the ladies may even teach the volunteers a thing or two.
Rise the CLINIC
The Rise Clinic is a new initiative providing free medical care and medicine to local women and children in the community. Free vaccines are administered as well as advice and transport in emergency situations.
In March 2013 an awesome group of nursing volunteers taught a first aid course to local women who are training to work at the clinic.
Rise the Label
Rise- Women's Empowerment Project not only provided vocational training to the local women but also created jobs for them so that they can live a sustainable life and support their families. Two tailors teach sewing kills to women in slums, and after training, women make beautiful hand-crafted garments as part of Rise the Label. The profit generated goes right back to the community. Would you like to support these hard-working and talented women at one of the best charitable organisation?
Rise SPONSORSHIP
Every year, Rise the Community sets out to sponsor TEN children for further education with the help of generous donors and sponsors around the world. The children get to continue their studies (their smiles in the pic is all the motivation we need) at the Nehru Academy School. The donation is completely tax-deductible and helps a child to study for a year. Please reach out to us if you would like to fund a child's education for a year.
