n partnership with Bill and Malinda Gates Foundation, ROTA through this project intends to expand education and Livelihood resources for communities in general and for youth in particular in 4 districts of Nepal. With special focus on ICT skills, the project aims to establish and upgrade 11 community centers which will create educational, social and economic opportunities for communities through community engagement. The project also aims to develop leadership skills among youth and prepare them for potential economic and social challenges.

Nepal is one of the most geographically and culturally diverse countries in Asia.  Becoming a republic in 2006, the country has made considerable progress over the last few years towards reducing poverty; however, it is still one of the poorest countries in the region. ROTA worked in close cooperation with its partner, Mercy Corps, to incorporate disaster risk resilient features in schools, raise disaster preparedness awareness amongst children, and implement school-based disaster risk reduction activities.
