Our Stories
Rebuilding Homes, Developing Lives
A house rebuilding and restoration project in response to Typhoon Rai, locally known as Typhoon Odette. Thank you Developing World Connections (DWC) in Canada for this immense sponsorship.
Cheryl’s Golden Moves
It is a proud moment for Rise Above Foundation Cebu (RAFC) to share that our inspiring scholar, Cheryl Angot, reigned supreme in the extremely difficult Asian Online Chess Championships for Players with Disabilities. Cheryl, 26, won Gold under the Physically Impaired Women division held last May 27-29, 2022. The Philippine Para Chess Team did a triple-gold harvest in this international chess competition.
The Resilient Mothers of Rise Up Crafts
Rise Up Crafts is a social enterprise and livelihood program, created by the Rise Above Foundation Cebu (RAFC). Recybags [re-si-bags] are the main products hand-woven by the mothers who have no stable means of income to sustain a healthy life for their families.
Online Learning Tools for RAFC Scholars
Rise Above Foundation is extremely grateful to Developing World Connections (DWC) from Canada for thinking about us and our scholars as we closed the last quarter of the year 2021.
Rebuilding Homes, Building Future
The Rise Above Education Sponsorship program has helped hundreds of students from underprivileged families through the years. Sadly due to Typhoon Rai, most are living in houses that are in shambles.
A Home To Last
If there is one story that touched us to the core in 2021, it would be that of Alma and Little Mary. Help us in rebuilding their home after Typhoon Rai.
