rise international Converting job seekers into job creators

We focus on economic development through job creation, skills development and entrepreneurship specifically in the built environment by linking aspiring local entrepreneurs with essential resources needed in order for their enterprises to flourish.
We do this through our flagship program called in loco is a live design, build & entrepreneurship fellowship. We partner with vulnerable communities who need infrastructure development and recruit cohorts of unemployed graduates from the built environment who get to design and build under international and local professional guidance and mentorship. This way communities get the infrastructure they need while the fellows gain much needed hands on work experience while building their portfolio.
After the fellowship, the alumni form small businesses which we then take through incubation process until they are thriving business operating independently.
