We believe that the success of a community and its environment are inextricably linked.
Red Rocks Initiative for Sustainable Development is an African non-governmental organization (NGO) established in 2017 to enhance sustainable development in the Virunga Mountains region in East Africa. We’re headquartered in Rwanda and also work across Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
With the expertise and support of local and international partners, we facilitate locally-driven environmental conservation and sustainable community development initiatives.
Our sister organization, Red Rocks Rwanda, is a social enterprise and cultural center offering camp facilities, eco-tours, and philanthropic opportunities.
