Rise Stronger Holiday Club: Empowering Teens!  Our recent Rise Stronger holiday club was a huge success! 🎉 We worked with 30 at-risk teens, helping them discover their identity, build self-esteem, and establish strong values. One teen shared, "I want to be different. I want to be successful. I know this will help me get there!" 💪We were touched by the inclusion of a young girl in a wheelchair and the bravery of teens who disclosed experiences of abuse.  Thanks to our amazing donors, we provided meals and ended with a fantastic party! 🎂 A special shoutout to Heideveld Presbyterian Church & BRAVE Rock Girl for their continued partnership. We can't wait to see where our teens go from here! 🚀 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord... - Jeremiah 29:11 #AriseNGO #RiseStronger #EmpowerTeens #CommunitySupport #ThankYou

Protecting Our Future: Child Protection in South Africa In South Africa, every child deserves to grow up in a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment. At Arise, we believe that safeguarding our children is not just a responsibility but a collective mission that requires commitment from every sector of society. What does this look like practically? Health: Children’s health is paramount. We advocate for comprehensive healthcare policies that ensure every child has access to quality medical care, mental health support, and nutrition. Healthy children are the foundation of a thriving nation. Education: Education is the key to a brighter future. We push for educational policies that are inclusive and equitable, providing every child with the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe environment. Quality education empowers children and breaks the cycle of poverty. Social Welfare: A robust social welfare system is essential for protecting vulnerable children. We support initiatives that provide social support, foster care, and child protection services. Every child should have a safety net that offers care, love, and support. Economics: Economic policies must consider the well-being of children. We advocate for economic strategies that alleviate poverty and provide families with the resources they need to create stable and supportive homes. Economic stability allows families to thrive, ensuring children grow up in a secure environment. At Arise, we are committed to advocating for practical and inclusive policies across all these sectors. We believe that by working together, we can create a South Africa where every child is protected, valued, and given the opportunity to thrive. Join us this in ending Child Protection Month with a renewed commitment to safeguarding our children’s future. Let’s build a nation where every child can rise and reach their full potential. #ChildProtectionMonth #AriseForChildren #SouthAfrica #EveryChildMatters #Accountability #AriseNGO
