About Rest-Africa

Who We Are

Responsive Action for Equitable and Sustainable Transformation-Africa (REST-Africa) is a women- and youth-led, non-profit organization committed to driving inclusive, people-centred transformation across Uganda and Africa. We believe real change happens when communities take the lead — shaping solutions that protect the environment, improve livelihoods, and build resilience. Founded to respond to the intersecting challenges of poverty, inequality, and climate change, we work with grassroots communities, governments, and partners to deliver impactful, locally owned programs that advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
