Who We Are

Restoring and Empowering Communities (REC) started way back in 2004 as a charity that Nageeba Hassan formed in memory of her mother

REC is now being engaged by schools and communities outside our operation areas and we reached out in partnership with religious, community, school leaders and friends to replicate our work.

Services

REC builds safe environments for children and youth working with the actors in their spaces (parents, teachers, leaders and young people) to empower them for meaningful participation especially the girls child. Empowered young people and women will have better control of their lives and strengthen their agency to contribute successfully to their lives, support others and together transforming the lives around them. Safe environment gives a sense of belonging and protection where all are heard, seen and action required taken seriously. They are nurtured, empowered and supported on their journey to success and this in turn builds a cohesive community. We facilitate the process and build capacity while walking with them until they are ready to fly.

Dialogue means learning, listening, and sharing opinions, because i believe that before we belong to any tribe, religion , and class we are all human beings and what affects one, affects the other.
