We want to thank you for helping Rise Up provide empowerment through education! Whether it’s been volunteering your time, purchasing clothing, painting, singing, financially giving, or providing your insightful ideas….We Appreciate It Very Much!

Because of you Rise Up continues to combat child labor & discrimination by providing free education for over five hundred vulnerable children in India & Nicaragua. 2010 continues to be an exciting year being actively involved in our local community promoting emerging young musicians & artists, advocating for human rights issues, and hosting positive youth events.

Rise Up is completely volunteer run and we need your ideas & creativity! Please consider giving the gift of education. 100% of your donation will go directly to help an underprivileged child receive free education.
