REDES IS THE NETWORK FOR THE EMERGENCE & DEVELOPMENT OF ECOVILLAGES IN THE SAHEL

Strengthening communities, healing the land, rebuilding economies since 2015

RESULTS-ORIENTED, GRASSROOTS ACTION TO REVIVE THE SAHEL

Born in the region it serves, REDES helps traditional communities become ecovillages by blending deep-rooted culture with modern ecological and community-building methods. 

Our ecovillage networks of trust – now including over 100 villages in Senegal and Mauritania – address the critical needs of the Sahel’s people and nature through on-the-ground, tangible results.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE SAHEL REGION OF AFRICA?

In Sahel, on the border of the Sahara Desert, desertification, climate change, and persistent poverty threaten our land and our way of life.

REDES is organizing ecovillages that rebuild economies, heal the land, and strengthen communties

WHERE IS THE SAHEL?

The Sahel exists in between the arid Saraha (desert) to the north and the belt of humid savannas to the south.
