Dress Clothes and A Christmas Chicken
If you happened to be in Ghana last week and were on the dirt road between Nantan and Ankaase, you might have seen a motorized three-wheeler bouncing across the bumpy terrain, carrying a load of live chickens. The "tricycle" was transporting a part of our sponsored students' Christmas gift. Each holiday season, Rising Village sponsors generously provide a small donation for Christmas gifts for their sponsored student. For children who live in villages like Ankaase, Mpobi, and

March Student of the Month: Janet
Rising Village has two groups of people we serve in the communities where we work in Ghana: orphaned children and single mothers. These are the most vulnerable of the village population.

Twelve Students Sponsored
Caleb now has a sponsor, which means all twelve of the students in our Education program have been matched with people who are giving generously to ensure these kids can attend school and receive good nutrition. Sponsorship does make a difference. The students know that there is someone who wants them to stay in school, and has commited to help make that happen.

Ghana Staff: Meet Victor
My name is Victor Owusu-Ansah, the program coordinator for Mpobi and Ejuratia. I coordinate the Income Generation, Education, and Family Health programs in these two villages. Mpobi and Ejuratia are small communities with a population of about 400-500 people in each village. They are deprived areas and therefore most of the people are very poor, with their main occupation susbsistence farming. Since Rising Village began working in these villages, there has been a very positiv

Help Us Provide Food for Students
Taking care of orphaned children is an important part of our mission. But what about the families that take care of the orphaned children?

Since caring for an orphaned child means more food on the table is needed, we want to support these families by providing them with supplemental food. For just $100, you can provide a family with rice, Milo, and milk powder for
