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
We met at the space on 14 March 2024 for a volunteer meet-up. We discussed plans for future projects and community activities. We brought together ideas and worked on building stronger youth-led initiatives through the Rise Up Forum network.
Rise Up Home spent New Year here 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, and explored Fort Kochi together as a family. We watched a movie, and we nurtured the plants.
Rise Up Home looked back on a year and mapped its stakeholders
A program design workshop with Rise Up Home, facilitated by Shemeer, from 10 am to 2 pm. The first half reflected on the past year's work — successes, areas to improve, and practices to discontinue. The second mapped Rise Up Home's key stakeholders and their top three needs, and impact levels L1 to L4.
