Responsible Travel

• We take multiple measures to support ecosystems and conservation, including regular cleaning of the mountain tourist camps, emptying the eco-san toilets and working with guests to bring down waste from the mountain.  
• We sensitize the local community on the value of conservation and tourism on the Rwenzoris through member’s general meetings, community conservation outreach, community–public meetings and workshops for guides and cooks.
• We provide tree seedlings to every RMS member at all general meetings
• We orient students who come to the Rwenzoris on their field studies / excursions.
• We are also establishing a herbal medicinal garden at our head office for study / research tourism and aesthetic values and benefits.
• We encourage visitors to counteract their carbon emission  by planting a tree before they climb the mountains.
• We ensure that we use gas and charcoal fuel so as not to destroy the mountains ecosystems.
• RMS houses the Catholic Women Group’s handcraft shop and we encourage our visitors to purchase gifts. The group benefits heavily from the income generated from these sales.  
• RMS also mobilizes community women and encourages them to make craft to be sold to visitors. A free space / shelve at RMS head offices is provided to them. This way they have a new channel to distribute their good. 
• RMS aid schools with funds to construct roofs and class rooms or give out bags of cement.  Also we run an education loan program to help students obtain higher education.  
• RMS offers her vehicles to the community in cases of emergencies.
• RMS operates a health centre which helps the community with health services at subsidized rates. The health unit sensitizes the community on family planning, reproductive health, child health care, out reaches and immunization.
• RMS aids the community through the improvement of social amenities, e.g. roads, schools, health centers, and churches.
• The organization has its own dance and drama, soccer team and community conservation personnel, all of whom are picked for the community to enhance their economic advancement, socio-cultural livelihood and quality of life.
• All of our 70 guides and lodge staff are recruited from the local community.
