Justice Rising International

Justice Rising builds and operates schools in conflict-affected areas as a way of cultivating peace at the community level. They operate pre-primary, primary, secondary and vocational schools, educating approximately 4,000 students, and providing over 200 full-time employment opportunities across their 23 schools. Justice Rising invests in both the personal and professional development of its teachers and staff. Educators are key role models in demonstrating good moral character to students and are uniquely positioned to serve as civic leaders within their communities. The continued investment in our teacher workforce has led to meaningful program success in terms of student learning and attainment and teacher job satisfaction (demonstrated by high retention rates). Justice Rising schools have seen greater than 87% attendance rates (compared to ~62% nationally) and greater than 95% pass rates on national exams (compared to ~65% nationally).
