Meet our 2023 Beneficiaries: Arise Africa

Let’s hear it for another 2023 Beneficiary, Arise Africa! Our friendship with Arise Africa dates all the way back before Kershaw’s Challenge even existed. It all started with a little girl named Hope, and from there Kershaw’s Challenge was born!

“Arise Africa was born from a shared heart and passion for the country of Zambia. Friends Alissa Rosebrough and John Rosacker each had life-changing experiences in the country, seeing the love and happiness Zambians shared while living on very little. Both Alissa and John knew they were passionate about helping the people of this beautiful nation and, after prayer and long discussions about how to best provide aid, Arise Africa was formed in 2010. Today, Alissa leads the organization as Executive Director and John remains a loyal supporter and advocate.” 

Our friendship with Arise Africa pre-dates Kershaw’s Challenge. It has been a continued joy to play a role in their work in Zambia. This year we are focusing our efforts at the heart of education – in the classroom. The MacDonald Brown School is a familiar place for Kershaw’s Challenge and we are excited to take on their next need: more classrooms! We will be providing more space for more children to receive an education.
