What we do

Bulemba Rwenzori Ecovillage Limited (BREV) started as a community based organization by the name of Bulemba Community Tourism and Conservation Association in 2019 by a group of concerned citizens to strike a balance between development, conservation and tourism.
Later in 2021 it was fully incorporated under the laws of Uganda Reg. No. 80020003659880 and transformed to Bulemba Rwenzori Ecovillage Limited (BREV) aiming at championing conservation of the biodiversity, by providing practical solutions to the growing challenges that nature face. BREV integrate indigenous knowledge and positive cultural values in the conservation of nature working directly with grassroots groups in the region.
BREV values resilient environment and resilient people towards ecosystem-based-adaptation.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
