Rescue Network Nepal (RNN) was formed on 26th November 2012 with the primary goal of providing first aid and health related training to churches or religious organizations, community folks from various schools and willing social organizations throughout Nepal, in order to teach them the disaster management skills of aiding the injured people by minimizing human casualties and disabilities as well as untimely deaths that may occur in natural disasters and traffic or other accidents. By working through community and church leaders, RNN aims to establish a network of trained first aid providers throughout Nepal capable of providing critical care for serious injuries. Additionally, the aim is to make basic health and first aid knowledge more accessible in order that community people can cope with the accidents that may happen in everyday life. The long-term goal of RNN is to spread this training so widely that it will form a network of trained attendants capable of assisting the transport of injured persons to hospitals all along the major roads of Nepal. The training conducted so far has been received with great enthusiasm in the communities, and RNN is currently working exceptionally hard to meet the soaring demand that their good work has created.
