Rise Alliance for Children creates safe and nurturing environments where every child can play, learn and thrive.
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.
Imagine a world where every child and the adults in their lives have the skills, knowledge, and support they need to flourish. At Rise, we believe that investing in a child’s well-being today builds the foundation for just, inclusive, and prosperous societies tomorrow.
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.
