Started in September 2014, our Honorable President and Founder, M. Hubert Baidoo (Vice President Human Resource) and M. Kelvin Osei Sefah (Vice President Administration) on the KNUST campus.
•WeRise has experienced rapid growth and expansion since then. We collaborated with "Saving Our Gem" of Rutgers University in New Jersey U.S.A, where we made few donations to victims of the 2015, June 3 misfor
tune event. Moreover, we did a clean up exercise in Kwashibu, Accra, and desilted gutters to abate flood. We also visited Kumasi and Accra charity and offered some donations to put smiles on their faces. Mikdad Mohammed and M. Derrick Osei Poku, we granted about 60 mentorship scholarships from Mr. KWAME AWUAH DARKO (CEO of TEMA Oil Refinery, BOST Oil and Vanguard Assurance) to members in KNUST, UCC and Legon. Rexford Antwi also initiated our Family Choice Cereal mix which is trending in the market. Having you our readers buy and consume our products and use our services will give us every reason to stay resolute to what we harbor in our hearts to continue seeking every means we can and improve on the lives of people in our society.

Through our network and developers, we have launched the first Ghanaian auction site, yendiano.com, which provides the opportunity to buy, sell, and auction items online.

we take on a greater responsibility in supporting the physically disabled persons, the orphanage, and the needy but brilliant students. We recognized the problem of the challenged who are wrongfully pitied, ignored, and stereotypically discriminated as unworthy disables. Another problem is the rather sluggish pace at which the physically challenged receives formal education. Other bottlenecks include some business being reluctant to employ them. At the Charity Foundation we, therefore, seek to create awareness that 'disability is not inability' and that the disabled in their own have possess ample abilities, needs and interests as the rest of the population. We emphasize on the need for our bigger society to make facilities friendly towards them, since until maximum endeavors are registered, their true potential can never be harnessed to the benefit of the greater population. Thereby, building a positive image for the disabled. We Rise have partnered with Mr. PRINCE DEBRAH; Chairman of the Ghana Society of Physically Disabled (GSPD) and Dr EMMANUEL MARFO (Senior Research Scientist and part time Senior Lecturer in Natural Resource Policy Governance) to help mobilize their members and offer a number of capacity building programs for them. We also focus in reaching out to the orphanage to make donations and also providing financial support to the needy but brilliant nationwide. With the
