Founded on Purpose.
Driven by Impact.
Founded in October 2019 and registered with Rwanda Development Board (RDB), EPALSCO Ltd is a Rwandan private company specializing in environmental protection, forestry, climate-smart agriculture, and community livelihood development. Operating nationally across Rwanda, EPALSCO bridges the gap between ecological restoration and sustainable economic development.
Since its establishment, EPALSCO has built a solid track record delivering contracts for public institutions, NGOs, and private sector clients across multiple districts including Nyamasheke, Bugesera, Kirehe, Rutsiro, Karongi, Gasabo, Kicukiro and more — demonstrating strong capacity to mobilize across diverse agroecological zones.
EPALSCO operates a permanent tree nursery in Gasabo District (Jabana Sector, Kabuye Cell) producing high-quality grafted fruit seedlings — a self-financed investment that underpins rapid response capacity for large-scale planting contracts with quality-assured planting material.
To be Rwanda's most trusted partner in landscape restoration, sustainable agriculture, and community resilience — delivering measurable environmental and social impact across every district we serve.
A Rwanda where thriving ecosystems and prosperous communities grow together — where every restored forest, productive farm, and empowered community is a testament to what sustainable development can achieve.
To deliver technically sound, community-centered solutions in forestry, agriculture, and environmental management that restore natural capital, strengthen livelihoods, and build climate resilience for communities across Rwanda.
