The small, concrete results that don’t make the headlines and don’t appear in the newspapers are often the ones that give us the most strength to carry on our work in difficult contexts.

After five months of hard work in the field and not even three months since the launch of a major fundraising campaign, today the new Still I Rise International School for refugee and disadvantaged children in Nairobi, Kenya, is a reality.

Still I Rise launches the web-series “Through Our Eyes”: a six-part documentary that restores the word of the witnesses of one of the most serious humanitarian crises of our time.

In the midst of the current challenges, this Christmas season Still I Rise launched the campaign “Future as a Gift” because we want to continue to offer local support to students in our schools in Greece, Turkey, Syria and Kenya.
