NOOR EDUCATION TRUST

NOOR EDUCATION TRUST (NET) works under five basic components

• Mera Ghar (My Home)
Mera Ghar (MG) is a crisis intervention and advocacy program that includes a shelter of the same name. This component supports women survivors of violence by providing safe accommodation, psychological support, medical assistance, and legal aid services.

• Rar’ran (Light/Enlightenment) – Child Protection & Education Program
”Rarran” (meaning light) is the Trust’s child-focused program, providing protection, education, and support to displaced and abandoned children, in line with the principles of the CRC (Convention on the Rights of the Child).

• “Hope” Youth Empowerment Program
The “Hope” program focuses on empowering young people through capacity building on human rights, international instruments, and treaties. It aims to promote fundamental rights, equity, and justice among youth.

• Pohantoon (A University) – Training & Education Development Institute
The central brain of the Trust, “Pohantoon” (meaning an institute of learning and knowledge) serves as the central think tank of the Trust. It develops and designs NET’s program portfolios, conducts action research on the needs of women and child survivors of violence and youth in the local socio-cultural context, and creates rehabilitation and development programs. Pohantoon is also responsible for organizational growth, fundraising, and ensuring long-term sustainability.

• Humanitarian Assistance (Emergency & Relief)
This component focuses on providing emergency relief and humanitarian support during conflicts, natural disasters, and other crisis situations.

Across all components, NET continually evaluates its program experience, strengthens local expertise in preventing and managing gender-based violence, child rights, and youth development, and shares lessons learned with other initiatives working in similar areas.
