Ambassadors for Rising Hope

Nice people who in different ways make a concrete, hands-on difference for Rising Hope.

 

Carolyne Kaddu Rasmussen

From Uganda, raised in Kenya and has lived in Denmark for 29 years. Mother, grandmother and spouse. 

"It's a huge honour to be an ambassador for Rising Hope, which for me is a picture of how hope gives life. Rising Hope works with phenomenal women from Tanzania who are in addiction treatment for substance abuse. It is also important for me to see how Rising Hope emphasizes self-help - empowerment which for me, a woman of African descent, is the best way to preserve the dignity and integrity of these women. My stomach bubbles with joy when I see how women in Tanzania claim their right to determine their own lives.

Together, we can help support and cheer on these wonderful women so that they too can help other women create sustainable opportunities for those who have none."

"I am proud to be an ambassador for Rising Hope and use my platform on Instagram to raise awareness for the organization. I do a fundraiser every year, where my followers support the fundraiser and get to know Rising Hope.
My followers are Danish women, and I think there is something beautiful in the fact that we Danish women support these vulnerable women in Tanzania.
My hope is that the organization can grow big and sustainable, with, among other things, my platform as a help".
