RISE - REAP Institute of Skill & Empowerment
Empowering Youth with Skills for a Dignified Livelihood
At REAP, we believe that education goes beyond textbooks and classrooms. For youth growing up in underserved slum communities, the next critical step after basic education is acquiring employable skills that lead to stable livelihoods and self-reliance. RISE (REAP Institute of Skill & Empowerment) is our dedicated vocational training initiative focused on building practical job-oriented skills. Through RISE, we equip adolescents and young adults with the knowledge, confidence, and abilities they need to step into the professional world with dignity.
