About Raise The Children International

In South Africa 68% of rural women, and 54% of rural men aged 20 - 24 do not move forward from secondary school into tertiary education or work. Raise the Children International (RTC) empowers rural South African orphans through quality education to become thriving leaders poised to transform their communities and country. In 2024, 71 RTC Scholars attend 15 boarding high schools around South Africa. In 2025, RTCs expansion to support 100 Scholars a year will be nearly complete, with 94 Scholars at 18 schools. All Scholars receive wraparound support, including a provision for basic needs, counselling, mentoring and tutorials in mathematics and English. Compared to the children they grew up with, when a Scholar joins RTC their chance to complete high school doubles, their chance of being employed or in tertiary education after high school increases 14x, and their chance of going to university and finishing a degree by the age of 25 increases 193x.
