The healing power of education
A letter from Sonia
“I always wanted to heal pain and serve people, so I pursued nursing and completed my degree in 2019.”
“I’ll always say that whatever I accomplish in life, it’s all because of Rising Star Outreach — my life started there.”
— Sonia · Staff Nurse
Life after Rising Star Outreach
This is what your help makes possible.
Rising Star Outreach’s support doesn’t stop at graduation. With help continuing into college and vocational training, these graduates built careers — and lives of independence.
I lost my father at the age of five. My mother was affected by leprosy, so she could not take care of me alone. Rising Star Outreach helped me by offering a good education and good food, and by helping me finish my college degree. My mother was very happy to see me as a degree holder. I will always be grateful.
David RajBachelor of Computer Application
Rising Star Outreach saved my future by caring for me and my family, which was afflicted by poverty. RSO lifted my family and encouraged me in every chapter of my life. Now I’m proud to say that I am working in the IT field.

Rising Star Outreach gave me the first graduate title in my family. I’m proud to say that all the time — it makes me blush. Now I’m working as a nurse and serving people, just like RSO taught me.
PriyankaBachelor of Nursing
Thank you to Rising Star Outreach for making my life a fortune. I’m grateful to lead a team at a well-known finance brand. RSO once cared for my family and me — and now I’m taking care of my entire family with my salary.
