Ride 4 a Woman was founded in 2009 by Evelyn Habasa and her husband, Denis Rubalema. Ride 4 a Woman is a charity organization that assists local women who are facing domestic violence, HIV, and poverty at home. Ride 4 a Woman is a guesthouse near the headquarters of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park that offers authentic Ugandan gorilla trekking experiences.

The Ride 4 a Woman community center is where many women learn to pedal, sew, sing, dance, weave baskets, and drum. Currently, over 300 women from 11 villages are visiting or working at Ride 4 a Woman. By doing so, these women develop new skills for surviving and enable their kids to go to school. Additionally, the Ride for a Woman organization provides microloans to empower women and sustain their families. Over 100 women are currently participating in the Ride 4 a Woman Microfinance Program.

The local women can stay at this retreat in the neighborhood and receive a salary while learning new skills. We warmly welcome guests every day, whether they want to stay around, learn unique skills from us, shop, or just stop by to see what's going on. The revenue from our guesthouses is utilized to benefit the women and families of Buhoma and Bwindi by offering jobs, the chance to learn new skills, safe drinking water, and access to microcredit for the growth of small businesses.

Therefore, when you stay at Ride 4 a Woman, you are supporting the advancement of women and their families in Uganda as well as the local economy. Mwebesa House in Buhoma has eight spacious guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms. These rooms provide views of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, which is home to the majority of Uganda's mountain gorillas.

Ride 4 a Woman is the leading women's empowerment project in Buhoma. Through the "Ride 4 a Woman" initiative, members created the materials used to personally and traditionally furnish each of the rooms on site. The best part about living at Mwebesa House is that while you are here, you are giving back. Your hotel payment will directly benefit the Buhoma women, who endure oppression on a daily basis.

Ride 4 a Woman is the perfect base for travelers wishing to track mountain gorillas in the Buhoma sector of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and also have the chance to immerse in real Ugandan culture. Ride for a Woman will provide you with an authentic experience.
