Over the last two years, war has given rise to many new challenges. We currently have several schools that have been displaced, with a majority of its students now living in internally displaced camps due to attacks on their communities by a militia known as M23. As a result, we have waived school fees for hundreds of students who are living day to day simply to survive.
Educating children living in war zones empowers them to break the cycle of war and build a culture of peace.
Like our own kids, children living in war zones want to grow up in safe, healthy communities.
Justice Rising is currently working in three countries: Democratic Republic of Congo and Cameroon.
We’re employing and training more than 200 Justice Rising faculty and staff members.
We’ve built and operate 23 schools in Eastern Congo.
Nearly all of our students have passed their national exams.
With the support of our global Peace Partners, we’re educating thousands of students per year.
We have full gender parity across our school network.
