who WE ARE

Motivation: To remind people of the power of community, that we are change makers. Through our actions, intentions and purpose a new world is possible.

Idea: This togetherness includes different marginalised communities and Indigenous groups from the North, South, East, West and the Diasporas. Not all will manifest among us immediately, but the opening will be waiting to welcome those people who share our community values, indigenous perspectives, regenerating the earth, sustainability education and creating fair social and economical structures.

Mission: Empowering communities to create lasting solutions to social injustice and regenerative development.

Together We Rise - We aim to bridge differences between people of all beliefs and backgrounds, to create community, and to engage in solving local and global challenges. UBUNTU - I am because we are, is a believe in group solidarity, which is central to the survival of our planet and human-race. Our name, RISE is short for Revivers of Indigenous Spirituality and Ecosystems. RISE UBUNTU brings the two concepts together.  We are building the cells of the earth and creating community together.

  RISE UBUNTU NETWORK, is closely in keeping with the United Religions Initiative which is to bridge differences between people of all beliefs, to create community, and to engage in solving local and global challenges.

OUR GOAL

To empower communities to create lasting solutions to social injustice, and regenerative development.

our story 

 RISE formed in December 2014 and has since merged with UBUNTU project to give birth to a new vision of  RISE UBUNTU Network.  RISE was formed during a Summit Gathering of the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN), held in the old fishing village of Yoff, Dakar, Senegal under a sacred baobab tree. It is a multi-regional, United Religions Initiative (URI) member organisation, made up of indigenous cultural leaders, women and youth in sustainable projects  and their supporters, dedicated to building living heritage centers, social enterprises and local community organisations to protect their culture, wisdom, healing methodologies, economy and the integrity of their traditions and ecosystems.

WE AIM TO

  • Bringing together project leaders while building strong lasting relations of healing and reconciliation between the Northern and Southern countries and Eastern and Western Europe.
  • Support women and youth development, through entrepreneurship, sustainable education and climate justice.
  • Give voice to Indigenous communities and showcase the already existing community transformation  where indigenous wisdom and culture has helped to protect the ecosystems, whilst preserving and recovering our endangered indigenous traditions.
  •  Make our voices heard by government officials, school systems and local and global partners
  •  Create written and film documentation, support leaders and grassroots practitioners in preserving the indigenous wisdom and healthy ecosystems for future generations. 
  • Promote sacred activism ,working through positive partnerships, events and meetings, ending racism, including inherited and internal racism.
  • Advocate for climate change and accepting and honoring the beautiful sacred sites of racial groups and beliefs not previously accepted, including visiting and supporting their local communities, and regenerative education focusing on greening the earth, improving the economy, culture and worldview.
  • Work with immigrants - in Europe and Africa (and else where in the world), to empower them with skills and sustainability education, for when possible to go back and rebuild in their countries of origin.
  • Promote the spirit of Pan Africanism, and similar togetherness of the other continents.
  • Build new learning centers and provide support to already existing ones; and create meeting spaces for the exchange of knowledge and project development both physical and visually.
