Livelihood & Abject Poverty Relief
"Addressing the most basic human needs: food, clothing, and shelter."
Abject poverty strips individuals of the ability to meet even the most fundamental necessities—food, clothing, and shelter. In Nepal, many people struggle daily for survival, lacking a meal to stay alive, a pair of simple clothes to cover themselves, or a roof over their heads.
IRRT is committed to reaching these most vulnerable populations, providing life-saving support and restoring dignity through targeted interventions.
Mission and Core Principles
IRRT’s mission in this sector is to:
- Provide Essential Relief: Ensure that those suffering from extreme poverty receive immediate assistance for food, clothing, and shelter.
- Restore Dignity: Treat every beneficiary with respect, recognizing their right to basic human needs.
- Target the Most Vulnerable: Focus on individuals and families who have no other means of support or access to resources.
- Promote Long-Term Stability: Where possible, link emergency relief to programs that build resilience and self-sufficiency.
Key Areas of Intervention
aFood Assistance
- IRRT provides meals and food supplies to individuals and families who cannot afford to eat even once a day.
