Just Rights for Children in Nepal (JRCN) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization officially registered with the District Administration Office, Dang, and affiliated with Nepal’s Social Welfare Council (SWC). As part of the JRC international network of civil society organizations, JRCN collaborates with partners to eradicate extreme violence and exploitation against children in Nepal and beyond.

JRCN invites application including financial proposal from interested and eligible - locally registered NGOs working in Madesh, Koshi, Bagmati and Gandaki provinces having substantial experience and commitment to ending child marriage through a dual approach: legal aid and advocacy, alongside robust community engagement and empowerment.
