Fueling Innovation for the Next Generation

Through our TRI Labs Division, we work directly with underprivileged youth to transform their business ideas into reality. We provide hands-on mentorship, resources, and support to help young entrepreneurs launch and grow their ventures.

Rooted in the mission of Ugonma Rising, TRI Labs empowers the next generation by combining practical business development with spiritual growth, quality education, and holistic well-being. We are turning dreams into sustainable opportunities that strengthen families and communities.

Our Vision & Mission

Founded in loving memory of Cheri Douglas — a wife, mother, grandmother, artist and businesswoman who deeply loved Jesus. Ugonma Rising was born from her passion for nurturing young lives through faith and learning and a deep love for her friends in Africa. Cheri’s heart for business and faith inspires our core mission. We partner with orphanages and schools to develop sustainable business models and build self-supporting enterprises. Our passion stems from a desire to insure dignity and long-term stability for the children in their care.
