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 the 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.
