The Rwenzori Sustainable Trade Centre (RSTC) is a non-partisan and non-sectarian Ugandan social enterprise that works with communities in the Rwenzori region to promote education for the children and improve household incomes. It is registered as a company limited by guarantee. It has been operating since 2015. Prior to registration, a team was working on a consultancy basis as part of a Sustainable Trade Programme funded by TJX Europe. The RSTC is a registered exporter (TIN No. 1010158991). It is the largest exporter of crafts in Uganda. The RSTC is not an NGO or donor, but it started with a charitable initiative to build schools and help the parents to earn enough to keep their children out of the fields and in the classrooms learning. The company is limited by guarantee: that is, it trades, earns money from and for its work, and has no shareholders and pays no dividends. The RSTC supports communities, cooperatives and women’s associations with marketing, commercial and financial assistance, trade and production credits, and emergency relief.
