Mission
To create practical, inclusive, and credible education opportunities that equip young people with foundational computing, digital literacy, and innovation skills.
About RISE-Net
Opportunity should not depend on access.
We are building practical, inclusive, and credible digital learning opportunities for young people in Nigeria.
Who we are
RISE-Net stands for the Resources for Innovation, Skills and Empowerment Network. We are a Nigeria-registered, volunteer-led nonprofit focused on expanding access to practical digital skills education.
Our work began with a simple concern: too many young people encounter computing only as theory, without regular access to devices, practical instruction, or opportunities to test and apply what they have learned.
RISE-Net brings together schools, educators, volunteers, public institutions, nonprofits, and private partners to help close that gap. Our first program was delivered in Benue State, and we plan to expand to more communities across Nigeria.
Registered in Nigeria as Incorporated Trustees (RN 8858249).
