The preposition "on" is used here to mean by doing something for a continuous time. The phrasal verb "raise on" is used to express the meaning of someone growing up doing something a certain way. "On" is always put after "raise" to describe the way in which something has been done during the time someone was raised. Ex: I was raised on rock music. Ex: He was raised on a farm, so he loves animals.
