Our Social Commitment
Supporting Girl's Education and Human Rights
HRT believes in serving people, so to serve our clients is one thing, and the next is to serve the deprived people. We have allocated 10% of our yearly benefits to help with girls' education. Being a poor and underdeveloped country, gender discrimination is widely practiced in Nepal. We believe that education is the key weapon to eliminate gender discrimination.
Our maximum effort is also to hinder human rights violations in Nepal. We publish posters to raise awareness and encourage people to work against human rights violations. Without human rights, there is no space for people to stand, so it is the root to uplift anybody.
