About RSTC

Rwenzori Sustainable Trade Centre (RSTC) is a company that was formed to take the work that TJX Europe had been doing in the Rwenzori region, from aid to trade. Since 2008, parents from 12 hard to reach school communities have received support to engage in the trade of locally grown cash crops like coffee, cocoa, and cotton and craft making.
