1. The Rising Son
Our Mission Statement:
To create and establish a Christian school with hostel facilities for disadvantaged and
under-privileged children in order to afford them the opportunity to grow to their
fullest potential whilst taking refuge and guidance from highly trained professionals
and volunteers.
Our main aim with the development of the school, is to build on it year on year so
that in the end we have a place that caters from pre- primary all the way up to
matric. In so doing we will help create a “way out” for the disadvantaged kids that
are subjected to the distractions and negative influences of their present
circumstances and living conditions.
It is envisaged that these facilities will also cater for other social issues such as family
planning, life counselling, and provision of temporary shelter, skills development and
religious instruction.
Our goal is to raise funds for the school and hostel development and also to cater for
desperately needed supplies such as blankets, clothing and food for the under
privileged .
Our social services are already under an immense amount of pressure as a result of drug
addiction, domestic violence and gangsterismto mention a few. We hope to create a
safe haven for as many of the children affected by these issues as we can, in order to
provide them with a better future, following the right path.
Goal:
We hope to achieve our goals through donations and hosting fundraising events on a
regular basis. These events will be culturally based, promoting music and other such
inspirational mediums by which people live and grow. With a big emphasis being put on
family and community, we want to raise awareness and involvement. We want everyone to
see the work we are doing as we do it, so we will keep followers and donators alike up to
keep abreast with our achievements as we fulfil our mission, via our website and social
media platforms.
Motto:
We want to set the youth free from the dysfunctional homes they come from, free from a
bleek future with few prospects and free to live thier lives to the fullest through religious
guidance, eductaion and stability.
