RET International
RET International is an independent, impartial, non-partisan organisation, with no religious or political affiliation. Founded in 2000 by Sadako Ogata, then High Commissioner of UNHCR, RET's mission has been to address the dire need for education in emergencies in fragile contexts for vulnerable young people affected by displacement. At RET, we are committed to assist communities to meet the educational needs, in the broadest sense, of young people made vulnerable by displacement, violence, armed conflict and disasters. Our programs provide young people with the protective environments and necessary skills to face the threats emanating from displacement, such as violence, recruitment into illegal armed groups, child labour, sexual exploitation or narco-trafficking. Through our interventions, we strengthen communities and transform vulnerable young people into responsible, employable and self-reliant citizens.
