Arise believes that every child belongs in a thriving family.
Based in Cape Town, South Africa, we see families crumbling under the weight of poverty, crime, social injustice and abuse. Arise aims to strengthen family units through various programmes. We work with both children and parents or caregivers to counsel, strengthen, and equip families so that they can be a place where children feel safe, loved, and find a sense of belonging.
Arise is a Cape Town based NPO and faith-based organisation that has worked tirelessly since 2007 to provide holistic support and interventions to existing families and which promotes the creation of new families, through our adoption support services. We work to strengthen family relationships, deepen connections and strive to help children reach their full potential.
Our Services:
Family Strengthening:
Through our Family Strengthening services we aim to preserve, strengthen and support families in resource-poor communities to build resiliency so that children and their families can overcome adversities and reach their full potential. We do this by running our award-winning family strengthening programmes in partnership with local organisations.
Adoption Support:
Our Adoption Support Services work to build and strengthen new families for those children without families. We do this through innovative advocacy and professional post-placement family support.
Training & Consulting:
In an attempt to increase our footprint and share our programmes, Arise offers Training Services in the form of workshops, where we equip other professionals to run what we’ve developed in their own context and spheres so that we can reach more families.
