RISE Life Management Services
“RISE is one of the country’s best managed NGO by far. Because of its excellent project management and administrative skills, as well as contacts, it has survived very well. It also has a strong reputation of providing excellent services to at-risk youth.”
Diagnostic Report, pg 27, CVSS NGO Institutional Strengthening Project – April 2004, by Peter Wright
RISE Life Management Services is a non-governmental organization that was established in October 1990 as Addiction Alert Organization. The primary service provided at that time was an outpatient drug treatment programme, the first of its kind in Jamaica.
It’s focus was shifted to primary and secondary prevention in 1995 due to a lack of financial support for drug treatment, and the obvious need for education and drug prevention services, hence the name change to RISE, an acronym for “Reaching Individuals through Skills and Education”.
We rely on grants, corporate and individual contributions to continue our many interventions and sustain our organization. An endowment fund was established in 1994 which is perpetual, the principle cannot be invaded, and it is legally able to receive bequests, gifts of real estate and hold title to insurance policies.
All donations are deductible for tax purposes and are most welcome!
