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.

Rural Development Centre Nepal was honored to participate in the Provincial-Level Disaster Response Simulation Exercise conducted at Nunthar, Bagmati River, under the leadership of the Nepal Army and in coordination with the Madhesh Province Government, NDRRMA, and other key stakeholders.🤝
The simulation focused on strengthening disaster preparedness, response capacity, and inter-agency coordination through practical exercises including fire control, search and rescue operations, first aid for burn and drowning victims, disposal of explosive materials using robotic and drone technology, and other emergency response activities.💪
RDC Nepal is proud to contribute to such collaborative initiatives that enhance disaster resilience and preparedness across communities. We extend our sincere appreciation to the Nepal Army and all participating agencies for organizing this important exercise.
