We plan to improve the lives of underprivileged and underserved children from birth to 18 years old through advocacy, education, and support within global communities. We are dedicated to serving those in the US foster care system, as well as communities in the Caribbean Islands, South America, Asia, and Africa.
Many children still lack adequate educational resources through the quality of education. This includes insufficient learning materials, overcrowded classrooms, and a shortage of qualified teachers, especially in low-income and conflict- affected areas.
Poverty has increased by a third in low- and middle- income countries, with an estimated 70 % of 10- year-olds unable to understand a simple written text, according to a new report by the World Bank, UNESCO and UNICEF.
TREF recognizes the importance of instilling essential life skills and empowering children from a young age. Through our children's literature program, we aim to inspire, educate, and equip young minds with the knowledge and motivation needed to succeed in their personal and professional lives.
PROBLEM: There is a significant number of children who lack access to educational resources that provide motivational and career development literature, impacting their personal growth and future opportunities. According to recent studies, **approximately 65% of underserved children lack access to motivational and career development literature**, which directly impacts their ability to explore and aspire toward future career paths effectively.
SOLUTION: In response to this pressing issue, the RISE Early Foundation aims to provide a robust solution through its Rise Early Series. This initiative will offer engaging and empowering literature tailored to children’s developmental stages, focusing on motivational stories and career insights. By integrating these resources into educational settings and community programs, the foundation seeks to equip young minds with the inspiration and knowledge needed to envision and pursue successful futures.
TREF’s Hybrid programs leverage the benefits of both in-person & online education to empower communities through increased access, personalized learning experiences, technological integration, & community engagement. By embracing hybrid education, communities can bridge educational gaps & foster inclusive and equitable learning environments.
PROBLEM: Many teens and young people today face a lack of access to educational and engaging programming that supports their career development and confidence. They often miss out on opportunities to build essential life and financial literacy skills. This gap in resources limits their potential and preparedness for future challenges.
SOLUTION: At The Rise Early Foundation, we address this issue by offering innovative programs and hybrid cohorts designed to fill this void. Our solution provides dynamic, hands-on learning experiences that enhance career development, boost self-confidence, and equip youth with critical life and financial literacy skills. Through our tailored approach, we empower young individuals to achieve their full potential and navigate their futures with confidence.
TREF supplies books (both literature and curriculum), uniforms, and backpacks which are critical for children to attend and succeed in school. By ensuring access to these items, underserved communities can improve educational outcomes and break the cycle of poverty through education.
PROBLEM: In the United States, over **13 million children** live in poverty, often lacking the basic school supplies necessary for academic success. Without access to essential items like backpacks, uniforms, and school supplies, these children face significant barriers to learning and personal development. Studies show that students who are ill-equipped for school are more likely to experience lower academic achievement and decreased self-esteem, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.
SOLUTION: At the Rise Early Foundation, we are dedicated to bridging this gap by providing underprivileged and underserved children with the school supplies they need to succeed. Through our initiatives, we distribute backpacks, uniforms, and a variety of school supplies to ensure every child is prepared for the academic year. By addressing these fundamental needs, we not only improve educational outcomes but also boost confidence and inspire hope in these young minds.
