OUR WORK

Schools in conflict zones have the worst learning outcomes in the world.

Justice Rising operates its own network of schools, and partners with private and public-school operators, rethinking education to deliver high-quality schooling in conflict zones.

THE PATH TO PEACE WINDS THROUGH
THE CLASSROOM


Like our own kids, children living in war zones want to grow up in safe, healthy communities.

Two-thirds of the global poor will be living in fragile and conflict affected states by the year 2030. (Brookings) 

The map of global poverty is changing–our response must change with it.

OUR SOLUTION

We develop durable, locally-led solutions in places others overlook. Our framework is teacher-designed, teacher-tested, and backed by cognitive and behavioral science as well as our own direct experience managing schools in protracted conflict settings.

TAKE ACTION

With your help, we can continue to invest in providing quality education in war torn areas.

 
 
 
 

We have reached 27,000 students to date, with additional partners lined up in Congo, Cameroon, and Iraq, we aim to reach half a million students by 2030. We believe it’s possible to rethink the way that education in conflict zones is delivered, but we cannot do it alone. Will you join us?
