Every child has the right to education. Every child should have the chance to go to school, to learn to read and write.
RISE builds primary schools in rural Angola to educate children, empower communities, and contribute to the rebuilding of the country. Since 2003, RISE has built 198 rural schools, providing the opportunity for education to over 144,000 children. The greatest achievement lies with the lives impacted, the children who are now in school. The tangible accomplishments, those measurable pieces, represe

The 3rd grade students Christian Heritage Academy wanted to help kids in Angola go to school after learning about the similarities and differences in their lives. They did chores, donated allowances and savings, and raised $800! Thanks for your generosity and compassion!

RISE visited 3rd grade classes Christian Heritage Academy to share about RISE and our work building schools in Angola to give children access to education. Students learned about the similarities and differences between their lives and those of kids in Angola. They also had the opportunity to “experience” aspects of daily life in an Angolan village, including corn pounding, carrying water jugs, balancing a basket, and wrapping African fabric. Thanks to the teachers and students for their enthusiasm and engagement!
