Our vision and mission
The vision .
A generation full of resilient children.
So that the children will be resilient to their future and more stable in life in order to avoid getting into threatening situations. Initially, Rise Up Now will focus in the coming years on elementary school children in the Kilifi region of Kenya where the rescue center is also located. In this, the trainers at the various schools will give the children 8 training lessons and provide them with homework. Teachers are only spectators in this. Once the program is “made their own” in the schools, Rise Up Now Foundation plans to contact the Ministry of Education in Nairobi to add the program as a regular lesson in the schools.
The Mission .
With the Rise Up Now program, we aim to reach 10,000 children a year in Kenya by playfully strengthening their self-confidence and developing social skills. To make that happen, our team provides training to these children. We visit one to two schools each day, depending on the sometimes long distance to be traveled. This way we can teach 8 to 10 classes weekly. That is, depending on the class, about 200 children a week in whom we make a difference in their lives! Our first areas of focus are strengthening the team and expanding the organization.
The target group .
Rise Up Now is an active program full of challenge and fun for elementary school children in Kenya. We teach each child to strengthen self-confidence and develop social skills through play. With these tools, they will face their future resiliently.
