A world without poverty can exist. We know that it will happen in our lifetime and when it does, we want to be celebrating that day with you. Education is the most powerful tool used in to end the cycle of poverty. In Cameroon, thousands of children have never been in a closed classroom and do not have any study materials – meaning they miss out of life-changing opportunities. Others drop out of school due to financial issues. In 20 years, Cameroon has raised its Index of Human Development from 0.43 to 0.56. For maintain this increase in the standard of living of the Cameroonian population, we believe in the need to promote schools that provide a space for a dignified life and an education for all the young people of the country, whatever their living conditions. There so many children on the street lacking of basic needs items such as clothes, soaps etc. Often this affect their health drastically. One of our objectives this financial year is to donate some study materials and school chairs to the most needed in rural areas and donate basic life items to street children in Cameroon. Besides, small Businesses pain to be successful or closed down because of the lack of Business management knowledge and support. The charity Rising Hope will advise and support this through an Entrepreneurship program and follow-up and advice programmes for those engaged to open a start-up.

Our project is to support children wellbeing and education by running a play scheme three to five times a week (during the summer and half-terms holidays) ; this consists of running art, computing, creative etc workshops  . This would contribute to reduce vandalism and their parents sometimes leave drugs as children alone during holidays and half terms due to the lack of finance to send them to paid play schemes. We also want to help children from the street and orphans to get basic life items and food.

Everyone needs to play it is part of growing up, Children and young people need different opportunities to play in different ways at different times. Their play may vary depending on their age, culture, ability and circumstances.
