Feeding Bellies. Restoring Dignity. Rising With Hope.

Rising With Hope is a youth-led nonprofit based in Lekgalong Village, Rustenburg, working to restore dignity and hope through food, hygiene, and love. We serve schoolchildren and families with monthly drives, providing meals, food parcels, and sanitary pads — because no one should suffer in silence or go without the basics.

Our Mission:

At Rising With Hope, our mission is to restore dignity, nourish lives, and uplift communities—starting with the children of Lekgalong Village, Rustenburg.

Our Values:

Compassion: We believe that every person deserves to be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect, regardless of their circumstances.

Hope: Every meal we serve is a symbol of hope, providing both nourishment and the belief that better days are ahead.

Community: Collaboration and partnerships are at the heart of what we do. We work hand-in-hand with local communities, businesses, and volunteers to serve those in need.

Sustainability: Our programs focus on long-term solutions to hunger, promoting food education and waste reduction so that we can build a healthier future for everyone.
