Rise is a program that supports promising young people and provides them with opportunities that allow them to work together to serve others over their lifetimes. The program starts at ages 15–17 and encourages a lifetime of service and learning by providing support that includes need-based scholarships, mentorship, networking, access to career development opportunities, and the potential for additional funding as Rise Global Winners work toward solving humanity’s most pressing problems.
Londubuhle Moyo: Londubuhle is a passionate advocate for social justice and inclusivity. Driven by her commitment to bridging the communication gap between deaf and non-deaf individuals, she created a YouTube channel for her Rise project providing valuable information on important topics in sign language like sexual and reproductive health and drug abuse. Through her efforts, Londubuhle has empowered individuals to learn sign language, raise awareness about deaf culture, and contribute to a more inclusive society. Beyond her work, she enjoys drawing and painting, reading classic novels, and participating in fun runs. In the future, she hopes to pursue a STEM career in the pursuit of mitigating climate change.
Sean Mutunhire: Sean is a dedicated young programmer from Zimbabwe, passionate about using technology to make a positive impact. Inspired by his own journey into coding, Sean founded a project to teach programming and robotics to students in his community for his Rise project, fostering curiosity, problem-solving skills, and a desire for lifelong learning. Sean’s entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to empowering youth led him to collaborate with a software engineer to establish a company focused on providing free coding education and manufacturing electronic devices. With his passion and drive, Sean is poised to become a leader in the field of technology and innovation.
