SAFE Girls Project Update: Successfully Completed CSE Male Peer Educator Training at Rautahat and Sarlahi.
As part of the SAFE Girls Project (financially and technically supported by KOICA, UNFPA and Good Neighbors International Nepal, and implemented by RDC Nepal) a successful 3-day training for Male CSE Peer Educators was conducted where the training strengthened the knowledge, skills, and leadership of adolescent boys of eight palikas of Rautahat and Sarlahi Districts to promote Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in schools and communities, while encouraging their active engagement in advancing gender equality, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and the prevention of gender-based violence.

This training marked an important step toward nurturing a generation of young change-makers who are committed to challenging harmful gender norms and promoting respect, equality, and inclusion.

RDC Nepal organized a one-day Coordination and Capacity Building Training for agriculture and livestock extension service providers from Chandrapur and Gujara Municipalities. Representatives from the Agriculture Knowledge Centre, Rautahat, officials from the agriculture and livestock sections of both municipalities participated in the event. The training aimed to strengthen coordination, collaboration, and effective service delivery among different stakeholders to better support farming communities.
The Paribartan Project is being implemented by RDC Nepal with financial support from ADRA and Australian Aid.

On the occasion of World Day Against Child Labour, a program was successfully organized by Shanti Child Club, Garuda–06, and Laligurans Child Club, Madhav Narayan–04, with the coordination of both municipalities and the support of World Vision International Nepal and RDC Nepal.

The program aimed to raise awareness against child labour and promote child rights in the community.

Let’s join hands to end child labour and protect every child’s future.

Say No to child labor 🙏

SAFE Girls Project Update: Successfully completed 2-day District-level orientation for mentors on TFGBV and TF-Child Marriage & Digital literacy including e-rupantaran at Rautahat and Sarlahi.

As part of the SAFE Girls Project (financially and technically supported by KOICA, UNFPA and Good Neighbors International Nepal, and implemented by RDC Nepal) a two-day district-level orientation on Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TF-GBV), Technology-Facilitated Child Marriage (TFCM), and Digital Literacy was conducted for our energetic mentors. The orientation strengthened mentors’ capacity to support adolescent girls and young women in understanding online risks, protecting their privacy and dignity, practicing safe digital social and financial skills through erupantaran, and accessing available support services nearby.

By enhancing knowledge on digital safety, consent, reporting mechanisms, and survivor-centered responses, the initiative will help mentors guide adolescents to navigate digital spaces safely, confidently, and responsibly while promoting gender equality and preventing violence and harmful practices both online and offline.
