About us
Originally
I Will Arise is an international association operating between Europe and Africa, dedicated to empowering young people, developing female leadership, and strengthening ties of cooperation between the two continents.
It was born out of a mindset, a deep conviction:
No matter what my current situation is, tomorrow I will get up and move forward.
Founded in 2022 by Rachel Sumbu, a Franco-Congolese journalist activist, moderator, and public relations consultant, the association draws inspiration from her career marked by resilience, social commitment, and a strong interest in international cooperation. Rachel knows from experience that believing in yourself and having support can change your life.
The vision
Get up – Believe in yourself – Chart your course
Every young person and every woman deserves the tools, support, and confidence necessary to take their place in society and reach their full potential.
At I Will Arise, we believe that education, confidence, and access to strong role models can transform a trajectory.
