ABOUT US.

Rise Africa Care Foundation was born in 2018 (officially

registered 2020) after a long-time realization of

the lack of information and capacity building of ICT skills in

many marginalized communities. There is

a lack of information regarding the newer type of job roles

that technology presented. This led to

inactive society on the economic participation and low

morale among communities. This

exacerbated other social ills and the general mind-set

amongst these communities were that menial

jobs were the only way to go in order to earn a basic

income. Rise Africa Care Foundation saw this

huge skills gap as an opportunity to assist communities

with accredited ICT programs that will allow

them to be recognized by the job sector for various roles.

The first Community Knowledge Centers

(CKC) is set up in Mpumalanga province Mashishing

Thusong services center as a result, we saw

scores of individuals being equipped with 21st Century

skills needed to thrive in the digital space.

Rise Africa Care Foundation then further developed the

model to promote the rapid expansion of

the CKC model by occupying the youth hub and service

youth, municipal employees and

communities. The newer model promoted the leveraging of

existing organizations that understood

the dynamics and needs of their respective communities.
