Our Services

RISE offers specialized training, consultancy, workshops and lectures on Child Protection, Child Rights, Conflict Resolution and Bullying Prevention for children, schools, adults and organisations.  We specialize in conducting participatory sessions using child-friendly approaches in engaging children.  We also offer mediation services by a Certified Mediator for all types of matters but in particular, parent/child disputes, teen disputes, family disputes and community disputes.  Our Psychologists and Social Workers provide counselling and offer workshops on parenting, life skills, and anger management among other things. 

Our service delivery revolves around three main areas: child rights and protection, youth development and community development with the child/youth at the heart of the intervention.  We develop holistic programmes which are rights and evidence based and centered on the principles of active participation and sustainable empowerment.  As such we engage all our stakeholders and participants in the programmes and projects we initiate.  

Children, being our main target group, participate throughout the process recognizing their agency and providing them with an avenue to have a voice.  Our participatory methods help children to express themselves in various fun and interactive ways and act as an intervention in itself by empowering the participants who engage in the sessions.
