Juliana Santos
President
Juliana, originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, moved to the U.S. in 1994 and grew up in Boston, MA, before settling in Fort Lauderdale, FL. A lifelong humanitarian, she earned her Bachelor's in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University in 2011. Her passion for service took her to Hohoe, Ghana, where a simple encounter with a local youth sparked the creation of the Rising Roots Foundation.
Andrews (Kofi) Amenuvor
Secretary
Raised in a small town in Ghana, Kofi witnessed firsthand the challenges of poverty and the lack of educational opportunities. Fortunate to have parents who valued education, he pursued teacher training to help uplift children in his community. With over 24% of Ghana's population living in poverty, Kofi is deeply committed to creating opportunities for children through education.
Amily Dupré Castro
Treasurer
Amily’s journey into humanitarian work began in her youth, growing up in South Louisiana and engaging in various youth initiatives. During college, she volunteered weekly with local students to enhance their reading and education. A trip to Hohoe, Ghana, transformed her perspective, leading her to co-found the Rising Roots Foundation to support children in Ghana through education.
