Program

  1. Rise and Shine supports our lady of grace senior high school (olag) and st. Joseph the worker parish and elementary/middle schools in mamponteng, ghana. Most of the program support is for olag. Funds sent to olag support the operating costs of the school that are not covered by tuition. This gap is identified as the "bursary" by olag administrators, and is determined on an annual basis, then shared with the board of Rise and Shine.in addition, funds sent to olag support full and partial scholarships for students who are not able to afford full tuition. Olag enrolls 850 students in grades 10, 11 and 12. Approximately one-third receive full or partial scholarships through Rise and Shine funding.
