Greetings-
Thanks to those of you that have donated, those that give monthly, and those that participated in this year's July Bonus Day. You continue to generously support and give more kids in Angola access to education. Twenty donors gave $11,900 during the July Bonus Day campaign, with matching funds of $1,508 multiplying the gifts, which resulted in $13,408 being raised! More kids are in school because of your investment.
Every child has the right to education, but that is not the reality for many in Angola. Several million children are still outside the system and have no opportunity to go to school. Some children attend in makeshift classrooms; some meet under trees. Without a building, children learn in the hot sun, and if there is rain, cold or wind, there is no class. Many walk long distances to attend. Many have no school at all...
In response, RISE builds critical infrastructure, a fundamental starting point, in order to give children access to education. Schools get built through the generosity of many in the US and beyond, through local Administrations, parents, and communities in Angola, and through solid partnerships. Thank you for your part in impacting the lives and future of children, their families, and communities - they are grateful as am I!
