Research Initiatives for Development Education

Mission: Empowering global change through collaborative education experiences and sustainable community partnerships in East Africa. At RIDE International, our story is one of passion, purpose, and collaboration. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to running transformative cultural-exchange programs throughout East Africa, with a specific focus on community development. Our aim is to listen and learn from local communities, allowing us to work hand-in-hand with them to address critical issues and create sustainable solutions. As a global education provider, we are committed to advancing the study abroad industry by enabling students, researchers, and ecotourists to engage in long-term projects that positively impact the communities they visit.
