Community-Led Climate & Social Resilience in Rwanda

GRICA brings environment, health, education and livelihoods together—equipping communities to turn local knowledge into lasting resilience.

Who we are

Green Resilience for Integrated Community Action (GRICA) is a community-driven nonprofit that brings people together to protect nature and build more secure livelihoods. Communities help identify the challenges they face and shape the solutions, from climate-resilient farming to better access to education, health and opportunities for women and young people.

  • Start with community priorities and local knowledge
  • Link climate action to everyday livelihoods and services
  • Build local capacity so progress lasts beyond a project
