Our Global Mission
At the heart of RET’s mission is to protect and build the self-reliance of young people and women.
RET works in conflicts, crises, and fragile environments worldwide, from Europe to the Middle East and Asia, throughout Africa, and all the way to the Americas. RET is committed to providing interventions across the humanitarian, development, and peace (HDP) triple nexus, with short, medium- and long-term multiple-year perspectives, primarily focused on young people. Among young people, RET has grown especially concerned with the plight of young women, who have become one of our key beneficiary populations in all contexts.
RET focuses not only on protecting but also on increasing the self-reliance of refugees and displaced young people, women, their families, and those affected in the host communities by conflicts and violence.
We are committed to assisting communities through tailor-made solutions, converging our actions to “Bridge the Gaps” using a holistic, multi-sectoral approach to protect, build peace, and enhance self-reliance. We focus on creating durable development results and ending the need for external support, enabling the most vulnerable to become more resilient and lead their own development journey towards rebuilding more resilient and peaceful communities. When communities are resilient, overcoming multi-dimensional poverty becomes a possibility.
