RIDE takes pride in curating transformative educational abroad programs in East Africa, tailor-made for highschool and university-level students, both undergraduate and graduate, hailing from schools in the US and Europe. Our immersive programs offer participants an unparalleled opportunity to gain hands-on experience while directly engaging with local communities. Through these experiences, RIDE students emerge as engaged scholars and informed global citizens, equipped with the tools to excel in their future careers.

At the core of our programs lie principles of community involvement and academic integrity. We firmly believe that authentic learning stems from mutual exchange with local communities, who hold invaluable knowledge and cultural insights. In return for the community's wisdom, our students actively contribute their field expertise to community-sponsored development projects, crucial to the community's progress and integral to the program's academic curriculum.

From conducting fieldwork in remote and diverse locations to forging genuine connections with locals and embracing bush camping, RIDE's programs offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students to elevate their undergraduate and graduate education.
