Rise Up Home
RUH is a group foster care initiative by the Rise Up Forum in Kerala. It provides a nurturing, family-like environment for orphaned and vulnerable children, moving them from institutional care to homes that accommodate up to eight children with a dedicated caregiver.
What Rise Up Home did here
Rise Up Forum volunteers met to plan future projects
Volunteers of the Rise Up Forum met to plan future projects. We met at the space on March 14, 2024, for a volunteer meet-up. We discussed plans for future projects and community activities. We shared ideas and worked on building stronger youth-led initiatives through the Rise Up Forum network.
Rise Up Home spent New Year at aikyam space and explored Fort Kochi
Volunteers, team and children from Rise Up Home spent New Year's Eve and New Year's Day at aikyam space. We explored Fort Kochi together as a family. We watched a movie. We cared for the plants.
Rise Up Home looked back on a year and mapped its stakeholders
Rise Up Home held a program design workshop. Shemeer was the facilitator. The workshop ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The first half reviewed the past year's work: successes, areas to improve, and practices to stop. The second half mapped Rise Up Home's main stakeholders, their top three needs, and impact levels L1 to L4.
