THE RISE PROJECT
The RISE Project is a very bold idea - a global solution to dehumanizing, generational poverty.
The RISE Project is our 14 part formula and collaborative execution to transform the poorest small rural communities on earth out of poverty, with a 10 year commitment for each community with professional implementation of all 14 elements.
We bring lasting social change, infrastructure development, leadership advancement, increased economic development, technology transformation, and several other key elements to create lasting change and generational advancement.Whole Community poverty is extremely difficult to solve, but we believe every human has a right to live their best life and to contribute to people and planet.
1.2 billion people on earth wake up every day with virtually no opportunity to move out of the debilitating poverty they were born into..
It takes a multi-part, all-inclusive, comprehensive long-commitment to create real systemic change.
We focus on small rural communities of the poorest people on earth.
We provide highly innovative, comprehensive solutions required to rapidly move whole communities forward out of poverty into the global economy.
1.2 billion people on earth wake up every day
with no shoes, dirt floors, no clean water still carried miles daily, no toilet, outdoor kitchens with daily smoke inhalation, limited healthcare, no ability to move forward financially - and virtually no opportunity to move out of the debilitating poverty they, their families and their community live in. This is very wrong in the advanced world and the opportunities most of us enjoy every day.
To move whole communities out of poverty, it takes a complex, multi-element, comprehensive, all-inclusive, long-term commitment approach to addressing "each of the 14 elements."
Over the past 100 years, the world's best NGO's and organizations have proved that single solutions only impact that single issue, and will not solve the overarching challenge of moving entire communities out of dehumanizing poverty. It takes a long-term, best practices, multi-element approach to make a difference.
These are the highly innovative, comprehensive solutions required to rapidly move whole communities forward out of poverty into the global economy, 21st-century social equity, alongside new hope and opportunities for those who are the world's most vulnerable citizens.
