More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

60% of children in South Africa live in poverty and 19% are orphans. Children living in poverty only have access to basic education and underfunded schools that do not give them the chance to become independent and successful adults. Poverty and lack of education also makes them more susceptible to acquiring diseases like AIDS and TB. Providing disadvantaged children access to good quality education is therefore essential for a more equal and just world.

Activities

This project gives 50 orphaned children in South Africa the ability to attend good quality, local schools which have a proven record of achievement, by covering school fees, uniforms, stationary, tutoring and career support.

Total Funding Received to Date: £1,243

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

The long term impact is that 50 children will be able to provide better lives for their own future families who in turn can better provide for their own families. Thus, each donation will greatly benefit future generations in a positive cycle.

Project Message

"For these children, education is their mother and their father."
- Zodwa Mqadi, Founder of Agape Orphanage

Latest Update from the Field

Rise Foundation Update

By Jason Page - Operations Manager, June 24, 2010 11:59 AM

As we approach the end of a school term in South Africa, our students are progressing nicely. We are also excited about a few students who are getting professional training in other schools, like Khumbalani who is attending Dee's Driving School and is almost completed his course. The We Are Together Education Programme supports the education and related fees of 50 students from the Agape Orphanage in Durban, South Africa. We are proud of all of the students in the Programme and wish them good luck for the remainder of the academic year. You can see pictures of Khumbalani and his progress, as well as other student updates, on our website at www.risefoundation.org.
