Rural Women Development Centre (Gramin Mahila Utthan Kendra) is a well-established NGO with the primary focus on education rights and socio-economic empowerment of marginalized and disadvantaged girls and women. It also aims to minimize various forms of injustice and prejudices by striving for an equal and a just society.
Our society is rich and complex in cultural diversity owing to our geography characterized by many valleys. However, the diverse population also lies at the heart of many tensions in Nepal. Many social groups especially the marginalized indigenous communities continue struggling to realize their basic human rights.
Hence, RWDC has been working continuously with marginalized and excluded communities in challenging traditional beliefs, behaviors, and attitude since 1993. Initially, the organization seeks to address the importance of girls’ education and non-formal education for women. However, there was a huge paradigm shift towards the importance and need for women economic empowerment program after a decade. Therefore, in the year 2003, the organization launched its first ‘Micro- Finance Program’ in order to mitigate poverty along with the sole purpose of economically empowering women.
For the past 24 years, RWDC has been well- known among various communities due to its transparency, good governance and strong participation. Since its very inception, the organization has been diligently working towards gender equality, socio-economic and cultural empowerment along with the adverse effects of climate change.
