About This Cause
Rural India Student Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to increase educational opportunities for children in rural India - giving them the same opportunities as city children. RISE school wants to bring high-quality education to children in rural areas, where access to the school offering a decent education is, either non-existent or unaffordable. The school offers the students the opportunity to go on field trips with urban students to expand their horizons and their understandings of the world. Krishnan and Geetha founded the RISE Foundation in 2000. Their passion to start a non-profit ignited while raising a family in the United States. They understood how a quality education was the foundation for creating a successful life for themselves. They wanted to give back to India by establishing a school with quality education where a rural child could learn and have the same opportunity to education as an urban child. They also wanted to provide underprivileged rural children with an education, which would expand their thinking and understanding of the world and would expose them to different global cultures through extracurricular activities. When R. Krishnan decided to start RISE School, he hired an outside consulting agency to identify a community with the greatest need in India. The agency did research through fieldwork, by having the consultants visiting different areas, and by talking with government authorities and important people. They did research through specialized databases. In 2004, after much thought, effort, and research, RISE elementary was established in the village of Thimmanguthu, in Pollachi Town, Tamil Nadu, India. Upon the creation of the school, Krishnan temporarily relocated to India from the U.S. to assist in the development and implementation of the school’s structure and class curriculums. Krishnan and Geetha have made substantial investments in the school, but they cannot do this alone! Krishnan and Geetha continue to travel yearly to India to manage the school and enhance the curriculum. They are dedicated to enriching the school with highly qualified staff and teachers to provide high-quality education.
