Rise Alliance for Children supports the education and holistic wellbeing of children in underserved communities.
With 28 years of experience in over 20 countries, we co-design innovative and culturally relevant curriculum with local partners to meet their specific needs.
Our vision is a world in which every child – and the adults around them – has the skills, knowledge and support they need to thrive.
Our Theory of Change
Rise (formerly WWO) works with more than 150 local partners to create trauma-informed, evidence-based interventions at critical transition points in children’s lives in underserved communities globally to break intergenerational cycles of poverty, conflict and inequality. Leveraging the power of play, we help children – and their caregivers – overcome trauma and develop the social-emotional skills they need to thrive.
Responsive, Innovative & Impactful Programs
We employ the nurturing care framework because the psycho-social and holistic wellbeing of children is a prerequisite for improved learning outcomes, which in turn creates economic opportunity, better informed citizens, and more just societies.
Children accessing our signature Element of Play® program are 3x times more likely to succeed in 1st grade – a critical measure of long-term academic success.
