Beliefs»

RRN believes that:

• The rural poor in countries such as Nepal are confronted by four basic, interlocking problems: poverty, ignorance, disease, and civic inertia
  
• Because the rural poor comprise two thirds of the world’s population, social peace will always remain an unattainable dream unless the rural poor are able to solve their basic problems, and achieve a standard of living equal to that of the rest of society
  
• The rural poor have the potential powers for self-development, what they lack is the opportunity to release and develop these powers
  
• The rural poor also have personal dignity and, should, therefore, be regarded with respect, not pity.
