I'm writing an essay and I'd like to say: 'increase their awareness' but I've already used the word 'increase' in the previous sentence. Is it ok to say 'raise their awareness'? Here's my sentence: 'People should increase/raise their awareness of everyday life in countries of the third world.'

That's fine. Alternatively, you could use "improve their awareness".

It's best not to repeat. Yes, 'raise their awareness' is fine.
