RISE International's mission is to build primary schools in rural Angola to educate children, empower communities and contribute to the rebuilding of the country. The buildings also become a village focal point, providing a setting for adult education and community meetings. We believe that people working together, building relational bridges across a cultural gap, can transform lives -- and even whole communities -- in profound ways. RISE sponsored teams of volunteers who traveled to village school sites in Angola to conduct workshops, training programs and classes. While bringing assistance, RISE volunteers found that they too were enriched by the relationships they've formed. Many others in the U.S. have been moved by our effort to bring education to the children of Angola and have partnered with us to support our mission. |
