Thanks for helping to give children in Angola a hope for the future through your support of RISE. Your gifts make a difference!
The first two schools built through our partnership with Educate A Child (EAC) are to be dedicated on Friday, July 6, and a team from RISE has traveled to Angola to join the celebration. A third school is completed and awaits an official date to be set for dedication. Construction for two more schools has begun, while four additional schools have been approved and funded. We’re excited that thousands of kids will be given the opportunity to receive a primary education.
The EAC partnership includes a Monitoring and Evaluation piece for tracking enrollment, attendance and retention of students in the new schools. This is an ongoing effort to gather data for reporting the impact of providing access to education. The communities are grateful for the schools and are committed to assisting in the process.
We have an opportunity to multiply the impact. GlobalGiving is hosting another Bonus Day on Wednesday, July 18. Donations up to $500 per unique donor will be matched at 50%. There will be $120,000 in matching funds, available beginning at 8:00:01 CST – until funds run out, which won’t take long! Please join us on July 18, to give even MORE kids the chance to go to school.
