A cultural and environmental enterprise founded in 2008 with seed funding from the Ruwenzori Sculpture Foundation. Based in Kasese district, Uganda, the Rwenzori Founders is a rural arts centre, launched by Ugandan craftsmen. The Founders are re-foresting and re-wilding the land which has seen a remarkable increase in biodiversity. They now attract tourists to their growing wildlife forest, gallery and cafe. Art sales help fund their continued conservation work and tree planting.

The Ruwenzori Foundation, the newly named Ruwenzori Sculpture Foundation, is a UK charity set up in 2004 by the directors of Pangolin Editions and Parabola Land Ltd with the aim of enabling cultural and educational exchanges between artists in Africa and the UK. It supports the Rwenzori Founders rural arts centre launched by Ugandan craftsmen. The Rwenzori Founders have been re-foresting and re-wilding the land and any art sales help fund their continued conservation and tree planting.
