"Entusi Resort and Retreat Center in Kabale, Uganda, is a model of
sustainability and a beacon of light to the local community — both literally
and figuratively.
The eco-retreat center hosts guests from around the world at a curated rustic
lodge on Lake Bunyonyi. The center opened in 2013 when Global Livingston
Institute, based in Denver, was looking for a “poor man’s Aspen Institute” and
a space to think deeply about complex social issues. It has been the site of
women’s leadership retreats, youth summits, mental health training conferences,
TEDx talks, HIV awareness music festivals, and community celebrations, to name
a few.
The facility combines global outreach with support for the local community. It
was built on the edge of one of the deepest lakes in Africa by more than 150
Ugandans, and employs workers from the surrounding lakeside communities. It has
now improved its commitment to the local environment as well."
