By integrating the following methodologies and approaches, Rise Up Foundation Nepal (RUF-N) ensures a comprehensive and multifaceted strategy to address our four thematic areas: Education and Child Protection, Women and Environment, Community Health and Hygiene, and Social Justice. This integrated approach enables us to create sustainable, community-driven change and improve the lives of those we serve.
RUF-N provided much-needed relief to over 50 households affected by the 2024 floods in Kathmandu. More than 50 newly delivered mothers and their babies and Pregnant women received hygiene and dignity kits, along with warm winter clothes to help them through this difficult time.
RUF-N conducts comprehensive research to gather data on social, economic, and environmental issues, providing a foundation for our programs and policies. Our publications include reports, policy briefs, and case studies, sharing insights and influencing public discourse to drive informed decision-making.
We engage with policymakers, government officials, and stakeholders to advocate for legislative and policy changes that support our mission. Through campaigns, petitions, and public forums, we raise awareness and mobilize support for inclusive development, social justice, and sustainable practices.
Our awareness campaigns and educational programs inform communities about their rights, health, environment, and social issues. Utilizing workshops, seminars, social media, and traditional media, we empower individuals to make informed decisions and advocate for their well-being.
We engage local community people in identifying issues, developing solutions, and implementing projects, ensuring initiatives are culturally relevant and sustainable. By fostering local ownership and participation, we strengthen community resilience and capacity to address challenges.
RUF-N enhances the skills and capabilities of community members, local organizations, and partners through training and resources. Our programs cover leadership, project management, advocacy, and technical skills relevant to our thematic areas, ensuring effective and sustainable development efforts.
We actively seek partnerships with government agencies, non-governmental organizations, civil society groups, and the private sector. Building strong networks, we leverage resources, expertise, and influence to enhance our impact through joint projects, resource sharing, and coordinated advocacy campaigns.
RUF-N prioritizes community-led initiatives, where local residents take the lead in identifying needs, designing solutions, and driving implementation. This approach ensures that projects are tailored to the specific context and have strong local support, leading to sustainable outcomes.
We collaborate with the private sector to harness resources, innovation, and expertise for development projects. By engaging businesses in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and sustainable practices, we enhance the reach and effectiveness of our programs.
Partnerships with civil society organizations are crucial for amplifying our impact. We work together with other NGOs, advocacy groups, and community organizations to share knowledge, coordinate efforts, and strengthen collective action towards common goals.
Our Mental Health Services are dedicated to supporting survivors of human rights violations, human trafficking, domestic violence, and other forms of gender-based violence. We provide comprehensive, trauma-informed care designed to foster healing and resilience. Our services include individual counseling, group therapy, and psychosocial support, tailored to meet the unique needs of each survivor. By creating a safe and supportive environment, we empower individuals to reclaim their lives, rebuild their self-esteem, and integrate into society with renewed strength. We also collaborate with local communities and stakeholders to raise awareness about mental health issues and advocate for the rights and well-being of survivors, ensuring they receive the holistic support necessary for their recovery and empowerment.
Collaboration with government bodies ensures alignment with national policies and access to essential resources. We work with local and national government agencies to implement programs, advocate for policy changes, and scale up successful initiatives.
Our school-based interventions focus on creating supportive learning environments and integrating educational support with health and protection services. By working within schools, we can directly impact children’s education and well-being, ensuring holistic development.
