Raise Community Group

Organization Profile: Established in the United States as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization over a decade ago, our organization embarked on a mission to provide essential services to vulnerable populations in Uganda. Initially focused on operating a children's home and a renowned private school in the Wakiso District of Kampala, our journey evolved to address the pressing needs of underprivileged rural communities. In 2016, recognizing the limitations of conventional NGO reach, we relocated our orphanage to the Bugiri District. This strategic move redirected our efforts towards fostering and mentoring children in remote, underserved areas lacking access to basic resources such as capital, electricity, transportation, and education. Today, our organization is committed to impactful interventions in three core areas: education, healthcare, and economic development. Each program we develop is meticulously tailored to address specific community weaknesses while harnessing local strengths. Our ongoing initiatives include: 1. Community Center Development: We are constructing and managing a community center to serve as a sustainable hub for empowering future generations. 2. Health Equity and Education: Through this project, we aim to equip rural Ugandans with foundational education to bridge disparities in accessing healthcare, education, and shelter. 3. Alternative Education Programs: Our focus on alternative education models aims to enhance educational accessibility across the Bugiri district, identifying and supporting promising students through scholarship programs from primary to university levels. 4. Menstrual Health Equity: This project emphasizes sexual and reproductive health education, accessibility to sanitary products, and empowerment of menstruators. These initiatives reflect our unwavering commitment to fostering sustainable development and empowering communities to thrive independently.
