Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN) is a Nepali non-governmental, not-for-profit, social development organization, committed to driving positive change and empowerment in Nepal’s rural communities. It was initially set up in 1989 by a group of graduates from the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), with its preceding name as ‘Grassroots Institute for Training and Services-Nepal’ (GRITS-Nepal). By subscribing to the basic principles of International Rural Reconstruction, GRITS-Nepal was renamed and officially registered as Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN) in 1993. Since then, RRN has grown to become one of the largest development NGOs in Nepal, executing various development programs and serving wide geographical areas and populations.
RRN has been granted Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of United Nations since 1997.
It is also accredited to the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the Green Climate Fund (GCF).
A world with JUSTICE, EQUALITY, PEACE and PROSPERITY for all citizens.
To improve the lives of the poorest rural people, particularly rural women, peasants, landless people and other disadvantaged and socially oppressed strata of Nepalese society by providing them opportunities for their socio-economic empowerment.
Go to the people,
Live among them
Learn from them,
Plan with them
Work with them,
Start with what they know
Build on what they have,

showcase but a pattern
Not odds and ends,
But a system
Not piecemeal, but an
integrated approach
Not to conform, but to
transform
Not relief, but release
