Raise the Roof Academy

Raise the Roof Academy Raise the Roof Academy is a 501c3 non-profit organization that advocates for children and community development one household at a time to the glory of God.

We develop high-quality education centers, provide community health programs, create income generating opportunities, and grow alongside local leaders. This multi-faceted, participatory approach builds local capacities and long-term relationships to create lasting, community-wide advancement, rather than a transactional supply of assistance. Our vision is to see generations of empowered children lead community change and share their passions with the world.

Love looks like showing up, again, and again.

A hand held while crossing the road.
Early mornings spent working hard for family.
Words of encouragement after a long day.
Sacrifices made without recognition.

We celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, caregivers, mentors, and father figures who help shape the lives of students and families in the Raise the Roof Academy community.

Thank you for the steady love, guidance, protection, and support you give so freely. Happy Father’s Day Weekend!

When you sponsor a child, you’re not just impacting one life.

You’re helping ease the burden on a family.

Creating space for opportunity.

And contributing to a future that can be passed down for generations.

That’s the kind of impact that lasts!

Introducing 🎄☀️

There’s something special about the feeling of the Christmas season.

There’s so much anticipation, generosity, excitement, and meaning. Warmth, wonder, and joy are woven into even the smallest acts of care.

So, we decided to bring that spirit of giving into the summer!
You can help support the Raise the Roof Academy community with food and special activities during Rhino Kid's Camp week in July by giving to "Christmas in July" at rtra.org/donate

A toothbrush. A notebook. A new shirt.

Rhinos Kid's Camp is almost here!!

And for one whole week, joy takes center stage. Games from morning to night. Friends everywhere. Music, dancing, laughter echoing across campus.

And for many students, it’s one of the only times all year they get to eat meat every single day.

Something as simple as a shared meal becomes a memory they carry with them long after camp ends.

If you want to make donation to supply meat for the children to enjoy during the best week ever, go to rtra.org/donate

Help us fill every bag (and every heart) before June 12.
