RISE
is a US-based nonprofit supporting acid attack survivors and survivor organizations around the world. We empower survivors and student advocates to realize their potential to create meaningful change.

Artisan Sales
We have purchased over $10,000 worth of artisan products from 14 survivors of acid and burns violence in Uganda and Nepal. Items are sold on the RISE Artisan Marketplace.
Microloans
We have provided business skills training and microloans to 32 survivors in Uganda and Nepal through which survivors started or expanded successful small businesses.
Training Students
We helped establish and provide mentorship to seven student chapters of RISE. Students fund programming for our partner centers and learn about human rights issues internationally.
