RISE started with the powerful vision of providing young women with tangible role models, showcasing the triumphs of successful women who have conquered adversity. Its purpose is to equip a teenage girl with practical tools to surmount her challenges, illustrating that she is not alone in her journey. From this initial spark, a vibrant community of women has emerged—a community that uplifts, supports, and empowers each other through life's formidable moments, much like the strengthening of iron through mutual sharpening.
