Our Mission

Rising Sun Development Center’s mission is to promote community well-being and long-term resilience by strengthening public health, economic stability, youth development, and sustainable agriculture in communities with need. RSDC partners with local, national, and international community-based organizations, NGOs, and public agencies to provide research, technical assistance, training, capacity building, and direct support that helps communities identify challenges, build assets, and implement practical, culturally grounded solutions. Through innovative approaches to health infrastructure development, policy-informed practice, youth empowerment, and sustainability planning, Rising Sun supports communities in advancing opportunity, shared prosperity, and self-determined pathways to thriving families and healthy futures.
