Comment: There are references here, but none of them appear to contain the in-depth coverage in independent sources that we're looking for. Notability is not inherited from Kershaw. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:54, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Arise Africa, founded in 2010 by Alissa Rosebrough and John Rosacker,[1] is a housing and education non-profit ministry headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, serving underprivileged children in Zambia, Africa. Many of the children are impacted by HIV.[2] The organization provides orphaned youth with housing and opportunities based on biblical principles. The ministry offers child sponsorship programs open to the public. They have been in partnership with Los Angeles Dodger Clayton Kershaw's "Kershaw's Challenge" organization since 2011,[3][4][5] ever since Kershaw and wife Ellen embarked on a mission trip to the country. [6]
About[edit]
Arise Africa is comprised of four initiatives: Arise Homes, Arise Schools, Discipleship, and the Feeding Program.[7]
In 2016, Kershaw's Challenge purchased land in Ngombe Compound in order to serve 150 children in Arise's custody. Once built, the school held capacity for 600 students.
In 2018, Kershaw's Challenge partnered with Arise to build a million-dollar school, the Arise Christian School, in Zambia's capitol, Lusaka.[8][5] As of the same year, the non-profit placed 450 students in their child sponsorship program. [9]
As of January 2019, Arise built a school to accommodate an initial 150 students, with the goal of 700 students at capacity. [9]
