About U-Rise
About U-Rise Community-Based Organization
U-Rise is a registered community-based organization in Kenya under the Community Groups Registration Act. Since beginning operations in 2022, U-Rise has focused primarily on improving the well-being of vulnerable children, adolescents, and women, especially those with neurological disorders and other disabilities, in Western Kenya.
U-Rise strives to support marginalized communities by fostering economic and social empowerment through a holistic approach. This work emphasizes the upliftment of people with disabilities, particularly those with neurological disorders, who are often underserved. This comprehensive approach addresses disabilities in their full context rather than isolated aspects, engaging local communities to address food security and nutrition as a foundation for combating neurological disorders.
- Collaborating with communities on sustainable agricultural practices and educational programs for balanced diets, improving both immediate food security and long-term health.
- Advocating for inclusive policies, partnering with strategic networks to amplify healthcare for children, adolescents, and women with disabilities.
- Continuously investing in initiatives like climate-smart agriculture and visual arts for social change, working closely with healthcare providers to ensure evidence-based, quality interventions.
U-Rise has built robust governance and financial systems, which are instrumental in ensuring the quality execution of projects and value for money. The organization’s investment in climate-resilient agriculture and partnership with healthcare providers exemplifies our commitment to high-quality, impactful interventions that address the root causes of disabilities and promote sustainable change.
