RET International also joins our network
Who is RET International RET International is an independent, impartial, non-governmental organization with no partisan or religious affiliation, headquartered in Geneva (Switzerland) and with regional representation in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Its commitment is to help communities to respond to the educational needs, in the broadest sense, of young people in conditions of vulnerability due to displacement, armed conflicts, violence or disasters. We work with firm belief and deep trust in the potential of youth, promoting favorable conditions for the protection of young people in risky conditions, offering tools to develop the necessary skills for life.
