Empowering Uganda’s Youth & Women to Lead Change
Resilient Initiatives for Socio-economic Empowerment - RISE Anew
RISE Anew is a youth-focused NGO committed to unlocking the potential of Africa’s next generation—especially those who have been left behind. We are starting in Uganda, from urban slums to rural villages, and from conflict-affected areas to refugee settlements, we work where opportunity is scarce—but hope is alive.
Our programs blend practical skills training, entrepreneurship support, and leadership development to help individuals break the cycle of poverty and create lasting change.
