Our Background
This is particularly valuable because NUDEM has a strong community-based history. You can explain that NUDEM grew from ROJ CBO in Domiz 1 and HEVI CBO in Domiz 2, which worked for seven years from 2017–2023 before NUDEM was established.
This gives visitors confidence that NUDEM is not simply a newly established organization—it has years of community experience.
Our Mission
To empower vulnerable communities by providing comprehensive support in child protection, women’s rights, environment conservation, livelihood enhancement, and education.
Our Vision
Creating inclusive, resilient, and empowered communities where people live with dignity, equality, and access to their rights.
