Who we're?
RIGEROUS INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR EXCELLENCE (RISE) is a multi-service business aimed at addressing the vast poverty in the Liberian youth sector, by creating opportunities in creative arts, and trade-skill development; to empower young adults to be productive and make a living for themselves, while increasing Liberia’s notoriety in the area of arts, entertainment, infrastructure development, and advanced digital technology.
This is the first of its kind, and it will no doubt make a huge impact on Liberia’s economy and the lives of many Liberians. Furthermore, existing job placement institutions in Liberia does not cover arts and entertainment. Consequently, the service of RISE Liberia which is urgently needed in Liberia will be highly welcomed.
Our missions are to expose the world to quality products and services to stabilize the economy of Liberia and build wealth for generations.
Why Liberia?
Liberia, after years of civil conflict followed by the Ebola Virus disease epidemic of 2014- 2015, Liberia continues to be ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world. Its Human Development Index (HDI) value for 2017 was cited as 0.435— which puts the country in the low human development category at the position of 181 out of 189 countries and territories. There is extreme poverty amongst the youth, and they lack skills needed to economically empower themselves. The situation is true for the educated, partially educated, and uneducated individuals. Every year there are large number of Liberians graduating from five major institutions of higher learning and yet the number of jobs created or a vailable is significantly low compared to the number of graduates.Liberia, after years of civil conflict followed by the Ebola Virus disease epidemic of 2014-2015, continues to be ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world.

Young people between the ages 15-30 constitute a high percentage of the population. Hence, we believe targeting this group is important for the future of Liberia. We intend to economically empower the young generation by implementing our programs to counteract the shortage of skilled labor. Furthermore, the Liberian Arts industry has been struggling to recover from damages caused by, 14 years of civil war. Furthermore, Liberia was once home to one of the oldest movie production company in the Mano River Union basin and ECOWAS sub-region. Today the challenges of restoring and advancing the lost movie sector and competing with modern day counterparts are great. Inspite of this truism, we believe that the youth of Liberia are up to the challenge.
