The Best Christmas Programs of 2022-2023

This year, innumerable families in underprivileged neighborhoods experienced happiness and optimism thanks to our Christmas events. Over 500 care packages containing food, clothing, and educational resources were given out. Our Christmas celebrations included community get-togethers that honored the values of solidarity and charity.

Impact:

• Over 2,500 individuals reached through various community events.
• 500 children participated in holiday workshops focusing on creativity and self-expression.

Climate Change Ceremonies

In recognition of the urgent need for climate action, we organized a series of climate change awareness ceremonies throughout the year. These events educated community members about sustainable practices and showcased local initiatives aimed at combating climate change.

Impact:

• Engaged 80 community members in climate awareness programs.
• Launched a tree-planting initiative that resulted in the planting of 500 trees in local rural areas.

Women Empowerment Initiatives

RiseIntl is committed to empowering women through education and skills development. This year, we expanded our women’s empowerment programs, offering workshops in leadership, entrepreneurship, and technology.

Achievements:

• Launched a mentorship program to promote professional development by matching participants with female executives.

The St. Louis Institute Project

We are excited to share plans for the St. Louis Institute in keeping with our vision of a society that is better informed and empowered. With a focus on rural areas, this cutting-edge center will provide computer science, vocational training, leadership programs, and personal development courses.

Project Goals:

• Provide accessible education to over 1,000 individuals annually.
• We have already made some partnerships with companies, and we are looking to create more partnerships with local businesses to enhance job opportunities for graduates. 

Our financial health remains strong, enabling us to continue our vital work in communities. We are grateful to our donors and partners whose generous support makes our initiatives possible.

Looking Ahead

In 2024, RiseIntl plans to:
