Help Is Our Main Goal

0 %^{Black Owned}

We are guided by the simple truth that children and women are bound together — to uplift one is to uplift the other. That is why our work focuses on ensuring that no child walks to school barefoot, without a bag, or silenced by shame. With school shoes, backpacks, stationery, and dignity packs for girls, we bring confidence back into the classroom and color back into learning.

About Zana Rising

No child should walk barefoot into their future

At Zana Rising Foundation, we believe that education is more than books and classrooms — it is dignity, pride, and hope for the future. Born from a legacy of women who stood firm in faith and compassion, our foundation carries forward a vision to restore dignity in childhood and open doors of opportunity for tomorrow’s leaders. Though young, Zana Rising Foundation is built on humility, service, and unwavering belief in the power of education. We exist so that every child, regardless of circumstance, can rise — with dignity, with hope, and with the tools to dream.

Why It Matters

Turning Compassion Into Action

Behind every empty backpack and every barefoot step is a story of lost confidence, missed opportunities, and futures put on hold. Poverty robs children not only of learning but of dignity — the quiet strength to walk into a classroom with pride.

No Girl Left Behind — Dignity Packs
For too many young girls, lack of sanitary products means missing school and losing opportunities. Our dignity packs ensure every girl has what she needs to learn without shame, fear, or interruption.

Emotional Stats

1 in 10 girls in Africa miss school during their menstrual cycle because they don’t have access to sanitary products. That’s almost 20% of their school year lost.

Emotional Stats

At Zana Rising Foundation, we believe these are not just statistics — they are children, they are dreams, they are the future. And dignity should never be optional.

Zana Rising Foundation gave my daughter her very first school bag. It may seem small, but to her it meant the world. She walks to school with pride every morning now.

As a teacher, I see the difference. The children are more excited to learn when they have the tools they need. Zana Rising is restoring hope in our classrooms.
