Only 25% of refugee girls attend school regularly. The RISE digital attendance app links with incentivized school meal programs, supporting attendance and retention for girls. @dfat_iXc @mitlegatum @MITpkg @UN_Women #genderequality #girlsedu #girlsrising #un_women #refugees
The WFP school meals program provides important nutrition and drives refugee school attendance. The RISE platform links attendance to the school kitchen and offers transparency throughout the system.

Mohamed,8,was born without arms but he is the most genius child I have seen in #Dadaab @Refugees camps. Was never taken to School for fear of discrimination but he is quick to master anything with just a glance.He took selfies with my phone & played with our Canon using his feet! – at Dadaab, Kenya
Congratulations, @SMedinaRISE, well-deserved. Keep up the good fight! teapawt.net/smedinarise/status/963…
Echoing Green has always been a dream of mine. I'm especially proud to share that I have advanced to the Global Fellowship Quarterfinals! I acknowledge the thousands of refugees I've worked with who inspire me to keep RISE's mission moving forward. echoinggreen.org/fellowship
