Building Resilient, Inclusive Communities Through Evidence-Driven Empowerment
At U-Rise, we blend cutting-edge program management, sustainability best practices, and human-centered psychology to create lasting change. Our tailored approach draws on learnings from global leaders in health, agriculture, and social innovation, ensuring every intervention is strategic, scalable, and deeply rooted in local realities.
We design our programs using a human-centered, rights-based model guided by four core pillars:
Insight-Led Design & Knowledge Management
We start by listening: families, health workers, farmers, and youth tell us what’s working—and what’s not.
🔹 We pair local data with global best practices
🔹 Every lesson fuels our Knowledge Hub, a growing library of tools, stories, and data
🔹 Our teams can access, update, and share in real time

Growing Local Leadership

Empowerment begins with people.
We train epilepsy caregivers, youth mentors, and farmer groups to become confident changemakers—blending:
- Leadership coaching
- Practical, technical skills
- Blended learning (on-site, mobile, and peer-to-peer)
They go on to lead support groups, climate-smart farms, and advocacy events in their own communities.
Integrated, Sustainable Program Delivery
We don’t do isolated projects. Our programs work together, creating ripple effects across sectors:
✅ Inclusive Health: Community epilepsy screening, policy advocacy, and referral systems
✅ Regenerative Agriculture: Hass avocado value chains, kitchen gardens, soil recovery
✅ Creative Advocacy: Art for healing, digital storytelling, and youth engagement
Each part strengthens the others—nutrition supports brain health, art drives inclusion, farmers become advocates.

We measure what matters—with clear indicators tied to the SDGs.
Monitoring, Learning, and Scaling What Works
We measure what matters—with clear indicators tied to the SDGs.
- Quarterly Learning Labs help us adapt and grow
- We track both outcomes (e.g., seizure reduction) and intangible shifts (e.g., stigma, confidence)
- This agile model has let us replicate success across multiple sub-counties

By uniting psychological insight, strategic management, and sustainability science, U-Rise builds programs that not only solve today’s problems—they prepare communities to lead lasting change.
