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.

The map of global poverty is changing–our response must change with it.
OUR IMPACT
Through our SMoLL Steps framework, Justice Rising works with private and public school operators to improve schools in conflict zones. Instead of waiting for war to end, we are building education systems that thrive even in the middle of it.
27,000
students educated each year through our private school network and public school partnership with the Congolese government.
550+
teachers that we’re training and supporting.
1:1
gender parity. We are committed to girls’ education and achieve gender parity across our school network.
95%+
Justice Rising students have sustained 95-100% national exam pass rate over the past five years.
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?
