Rhest

RHEST is a women-led nonprofit organization established in 1993 with the goal of preventing girl trafficking through education. In addition to support for formal education, RHEST also runs program on health for supported girls, their families and communities. Under the health program, RHEST works in the area of reproductive health, mental health and nutrition. RHEST works closely with four local partner organizations in Kailali, Banke, Makwanpur and Udayapur districts.

It is our conviction that the advancement of education among girls and women can significantly contribute to the improvement of society as a whole. We envision a society free from trafficking of young girls and gender-based violence. To this end, our organization actively works to support the education of girls and provide information on reproductive health, nutrition and mental health.
