Who we are

Rural Path Initiative (RPI) registered with the CAC as "The Rural Path 4 Children and women Initiative" is a youth-led, community-driven non-profit organization committed to empowering women, children, and other vulnerable groups in rural communities. RPI works to dismantle systemic barriers that disproportionately affect women and girls, including limited access to education, gender-based violence, economic exclusion, and inadequate mental health support.

Adopting a holistic and participatory approach, RPI places women and youth at the heart of sustainable development solutions. Through programs in education, economic empowerment, climate resilience, and social protection, the organization strives to build inclusive, resilient rural communities where every individual can thrive.
