The objective of the Foundation is to help create strong processes of [governance](/wiki/Governance "Governance") and an awareness of citizenry, primarily through seeking reforms in the legal and political arena by involving youth from different spheres.

RFGI aims to pursue this objective through spreading awareness of laws pertaining to governance, as well as by conducting research on key legal issues which affects governance of the country.

RFGI has a growing member\-base of 600 members.
