Project
Real. Action. Inspiring. Self. Empowerment.
Turning awareness into strength, stopping
victimization before it starts
The RAISE Project
Educate. Empower. Prevent.
The RAISE Project is more than just awareness—it’s a movement designed to equip teens with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to safeguard their futures. RAISE empowers young people to recognize manipulation, trust their instincts, and take control of their personal safety. Through interactive discussions, real-life scenarios, and digital safety training, RAISE breaks down how predators exploit vulnerabilities like the need for validation, belonging, and trust. This isn’t just about education—it’s about transformation.

Tools for Prevention

We don’t just educate.
We empower.
TAARA’s high school program tackles awareness and prevention through topics like preventing sextortion, reducing victimization on social media, tools for healthy communication, etc. Delivered dynamically with tools such as instructional content, quizzes, guided discussions, flashcards, and animation.
TAARA’s safety and empowerment programs for elementary and middle school students are designed to grow with the child. In elementary school, students learn to recognize safe and unsafe touch, use their voice with confidence, and build strong self-esteem. As they enter middle school, the focus expands to include digital and personal safety, online grooming, and cyberbullying. The program is delivered dynamically using age-appropriate and interactive content that meet students where they are, helping them stay safe, self-aware, and empowered at every stage.
Awareness is Power
Action is Prevention
Our multi-layered approach to safeguarding children and teens (ages 3 to 18) is built for the world they navigate today—where online enticement, gaming risks, and social media threats evolve rapidly. Through immersive animations, structured year-long curriculums, in-school clubs, interactive assemblies, and real-world scenario training, we embed protection into the fabric of their daily lives. Every lesson is dynamic, every tool actionable, and every program designed to reflect their age, culture, and digital reality.
RAISE
A Strategic Shield Against Exploitation
Prevention isn’t just awareness—it’s a science-backed, systematic approach that disrupts cycles of victimization before they begin. Studies show that early intervention programs reduce exploitation risks by up to 60% (UNICEF, 2023). RAISE integrates neuroscience, psychology, and digital literacy to equip teens with critical thinking skills, self-worth, and real-world strategies, ensuring they recognize manipulation, reject coercion, and take control of their own safety.
