OUR NETWORK

We don't work in isolation. Government, donors, and grassroots organisations across the Rwenzori region make every project on this page possible.

Kasese faces some of the most drastic climate impacts in East Africa, making it the ultimate test-bed for resilience.

The Rwenzori ecosystem is home to rare species and vital watersheds that feed millions. Protecting it is a global imperative.

The community has lived in harmony with these mountains for centuries. We leverage traditional knowledge for modern conservation.

From sustainable tourism to specialty coffee, Kasese has the raw ingredients for a green economy transition.

Every borehole, seedling, and apprenticeship above started as an idea a community brought to us. Your support decides which one we can start next.
