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.
Our Impact- Check out how we have helped survivors and students RISE!
Artisan Sales
We have purchased over $8500 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 17 survivors in Uganda and Nepal through which survivors started or expanded successful small businesses.
Training Students
We helped establish and provide mentorship to four student chapters of RISE. Students learn about human rights issues internationally and receive training in nonprofit management.
