Rise was founded by Dr. Andrew Cole (born in Angola
1953 -2004 ) May 2000, Dr. Cole led a short-term relief mission team to the Osire Refugee Camp inNamibia . This inspired the formation of a not-for-profit organization in May 2001, called the African Refugee Committee (ARC). With the arrival of peace in Angola, ARC changed its name to RISE International and has now begun to operate primarily within Angola.
