When we strengthen families, we can strengthen communities.
About us
We believe that every child is created to be a part of a loving, secure, thriving family. Arise started in the community of Heideveld in the Cape Flats, Cape Town, where we saw families crumbling under the weight of poverty, crime, social injustice and abuse. We now work in different communities across the Cape Flats, in partnership with schools and organisations. Arise aims to strengthen family units through various programmes. We work with both children and parents or caregivers to, strengthen, and equip families so that they can be a place where children feel safe, loved, and find a sense of belonging. Our model incorporates strength-based and resilience building interventions, focused on developing the bond between children and their caregivers. In an attempt to further the footprint of the work we do, Arise now offers consulting services to train and equip others in our programmes, and impact more children to bring about thriving families. We do this through 3 ways: - Family Strengthening Services - Adoption Support Services - Training and Consulting Services

🌍✨ On this World Mental Health Day, we celebrate the incredible human rights defenders working tirelessly across Africa. Yesterday, Arise held the "Reignite Your Resilience" workshop, partnering with PUG Research from the University of the Western Cape to support these advocates from 16 countries. Their courageous work often comes at a personal cost, facing immense challenges in their fight for justice. It's crucial that we prioritize their mental health and well-being to prevent burnout and continue this vital work. Let’s commit to creating supportive environments that empower these defenders to thrive. Together, we can foster resilience and advocate for mental well-being every day! 💪💚 Want to know more about our training offerings email training@arisefamily.org 📧 #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #HumanRightsDefenders #AriseFamily

GAUTENG! The 19th October is almost here. What did people say about the Cape Town conference which sold out days before the day? It got to the heart of key areas which are so important when considering or going through the adoption process. It brought up deep emotions for me, facing fears, which was good. We need to face these and recognise there is work that needs to be done within ourselves and that it is a continuous process. It is also helpful to know what help is available when going through the process. It was also great to connect with other people - single, married, hopeful and extended families to listen to their experiences. Who is the Arise Adoption Conference for? * People wanting to listen to the voices of South African adoptees * People considering adoption * People who have adopted but want to listen, learn and lean into more * People who are family of people who are adopted or want to adopt * People who work with children & families - educators, therapists, coaches as well as youth and community workers. We know that formal adoption is one aspect of the families in South Africa, but that often children are informally living with family and friends too - the workshops and talks are relevant to them too!

The 4th term has started, but last week we were thrilled to host a Holiday Club in partnership with Heideveld Presbyterian Church and Brave Rock Girls, implementing our Fierce programme. 💕 In high-risk communities, self-esteem is vital for young girls as it helps them resist negative influences, build confidence, and make empowered decisions for their futures. 🤗😍 A big thank you to Rosmead Spar for sponsoring food and to former intern Julia Krantz for donating all resources, including graduation packs with essential sanitary pads. Your support made all the difference! Help us continue empowering girls— support our next Fierce programme! 💪✨ Email info@arisefamily.org for more information! #AriseHolidayClub #FierceGirls #Empowerment #SelfEsteem #StrongerTogether #AriseNGO #SaferPlaces #CommunitySupport #GirlsLead

A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of partnering with SA Children's Home / SA Kinderhuis, South Africa's oldest children's home, who are doing incredible work for vulnerable children. Together, we focused on helping children, their biological families, and host families understand the importance of attachment, healthy communication, and problem-solving skills. At Arise, we believe in family restoration and advocate for reuniting children with their families whenever possible. If you believe in the power of strong families, partner with us!

Parenting isn’t easy, but it starts with us. At Arise, we believe in #dothework, because when we as parents are intentional about building strong attachments, nurturing identity, and understanding grief, our children thrive. Let’s create a family culture where our kids feel safe, seen, and valued—because healthy families build healthy communities.

Celebrating Growth in Our Family Preservation Program! 🥳💕🤗 At Arise, we believe that strengthening families is the key to healthier, happier children. We’ve just wrapped up our Ready-Set-Go program, focusing on attachment and Social Emotional Learning (SEL), helping both children and their primary caregivers build stronger, more resilient relationships. 💕👨👩👧👦 Partnering once again with HOPE Cape Town in Delft, it’s incredible to witness the growth and deepened connections within these families. Our program highlights the importance of creating safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive emotionally and socially. 📊 Why Family Preservation Matters: 💕Research shows that children growing up in stable, supportive families have better mental health, fewer behavioral problems, and a stronger sense of belonging. 💕Early interventions focused on attachment and SEL help prevent family breakdowns and reduce the need for alternative care. Thank you to our amazing partners and families for being part of this journey. Together, we’re building brighter futures, one family at a time. 🌱 #FamilyPreservation #ReadySetGo #StrongerFamilies #HopeCapeTown #SocialEmotionalLearning #AriseFamily #AriseNGO
