Imagine a world where every child and the adults in their lives have the skills, knowledge, and support they need to flourish. At Rise, we believe that investing in a child’s well-being today builds the foundation for just, inclusive, and prosperous societies tomorrow.

Rise (formerly WWO) works with more than 150 local partners to create trauma-informed, evidence-based interventions at critical transition points in children’s lives in underserved communities globally to break intergenerational cycles of poverty, conflict, and inequality. Leveraging the power of play, we help children – and their caregivers – overcome trauma and develop the social-emotional skills they need to thrive. Our programs are currently based in Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Haiti, the Middle East, Ukraine, the United States, and Vietnam.
