About Us
WELCOME TO REACH BACK
REACH BACK is a nonprofit organization founded in 2017 to champion sustainable development from the grassroots in both normal and emergency situations.
Our mission is to raise the next generation of leaders by empowering communities with education, life skills, and an enabling environment for sustainable development.
In schools and our established Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) which also serve as Child Friendly Spacse (CFS), we run Reach One Teach One programs (ROTO programs) to meet the needs of children aged 4–17 and youth aged 18–35 in multiple ways, such as
- Ensuring access to quality education, technology and literacy.
- Providing WASH and basic healthcare services.
- Reinforcing child protection services.
- Championing climate action and adopting friendly environmental practices.
- Promoting nation-building by motivating them to:
- Gain essential hands-on skills and soft skills.
- Freely exercise their civic responsibilities and promote peace.
- Showcase and preserve their culture.
- Exhibit and harness their talents through extracurricular activities.
- Volunteer.
In crisis areas, we set up Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) which also serve as Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) where affected children and youth benefit from quality education, psychosocial support, a safe environment and the possibility of being re-integrated into formal schools. In order to effectively operate these spaces (TLS & CFS), we implement the following structured and impactful programs.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
We implement foundational courses in reading, writing, articulation, calculation and analytical thinking for children who may have missed or lagged in schooling.
PROTECTION AND PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT
Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA):
We conduct regular workshops and training on PSEA to raise awareness, create safe spaces, and report incidents effectively.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES AND WASH
We thrive to maintain clean water sources and sanitation facilities while educating children on hygiene practices to prevent diseases.
EXTRACURRICULAR AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
We offer sports programs and games to improve physical health, teamwork, and morale such as inter-class and interschools competitions.
CHILD PROTECTION (Prevention of and Response to Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation and Violence against Children)
To reinforce Child protection in schools, we collaborate very closely with the school administration and school counselors to create a safe, supportive, and responsive environments
ROTO GREEN SCHOOLS
We champion the ROTO GREEN SCHOOL initiative by integrating sustainability, environmental stewardship, and eco-friendly practices into school programs, especially in the communities it serves.
