The Nile Journeys
Nurturing regeneration along the Nile — restoring land, reviving culture, re-imagining community.
The Nile Journeys is a bio-regional platform reconnecting communities along the Nile through regenerative education, ecosystem restoration, indigenous wisdom, and youth-led transformation. Rooted in the Nile’s living systems, we nurture a culture of peace, resilience, and life-affirming action.
Within the themes of Ecological regeneration and youth development, our programs address intersecting areas such as gender equity, environmental justice, and community resilience, ensuring holistic and inclusive approaches to regeneration. Below are selected programs that showcase the work that we do.
Ecological Regeneration
Supporting communities in land restoration, water conservation, and sustainable food systems — grounding regenerative practices in local knowledge and collective action to revive ecosystems and livelihoods.
Regenerative Leadership Development
Nurturing leadership, peace building, and innovation among young people through cultural re-connection and skills-building — fostering a generation of change makers who bridge ancestral wisdom and contemporary tools to regenerate land, heal communities, and co-create a just, thriving Nile Basin.
Gender Equity and Reconciliation International in partnership with the NILE journeys and Tiriji Foundation hosted spaces for deep and meaningful conversations around Gender Equity and Reconciliation in Egypt and Kenya.
“I had silenced this topic to appear in my social settings, and now it is a little easier to know when needed how to approach it again.” – One of the participants

Community hubs
The NILE Journeys strives to nurture impulses that are at a grassroots level as springs of shared knowledge and wisdom and strive to fuel their community’s love while nurturing its dignity and well-being. While creating experiential and participatory learning spaces and illuminating positive narratives about Africa through projects and programs addressing youth, culture, permaculture, land regeneration, water, value chain integration, entrepreneurship development, and exchange.
The Nile journeys
The NILE journeys is a platform of the Nile basin communities working on regenerating the land, the river, and the society. The ultimate vision and dream of the NILE Journeys is of ‘a Nile Basin ecosystem that nurtures life-affirming actions’.
The NILE Journeys nurtures and connects community spaces across the region called Community Hubs.The hubs will create a network of experiential and participatory learning spaces transferring skills to their community members within and across hubs.
The Nile ecosystem
The Nile basin offers a rich pool of knowledge and experiences through which one can rediscover harmonious ways of living. Reviving and reconnecting with this wealth of knowledge is becoming all the more important especially due to population growth, increased demand for water, and climate change threatening the basin. 460 million people, over 3.2 million square kilometers, 11 countries, countless cultures, and rich traditions dating back millennia: the longest river in the world, the Nile, is a microcosm in its own right.
