Resilient Communities
Around The World
Discover the Heart of Our Mission: Empowering Communities Through Innovation, Dedication, and Partnership.Our Founding Storysignpost
The beginnings of Resilient Communities (RC) started in 2014 when President & Founder, Eastman Johnson, arrived in Morocco as a Peace Corps Volunteer (2014-2016) with their joint-program Master's International program with the University of Cincinnati in which he developed his master's thesis project in his community of Tameslouht. After 28 months, he returned to complete his degree and continued to work with his community by establishing a team of engineers to design waste-powered pottery kilns with the local pottery cooperative in Tameslouht. During this time, he established RC and was awarded the Fulbright Student Researcher Award (2018-2019) to return to Morocco to gather sold waste data to support the project. Since then, RC has been working in every part of Morocco forming strong partnerships with local associations and the University of Cincinnati, merging the two fields of sustainable development and education.

Our Visionvisibility
Our vision is to implement sustainable community engagement projects, programs, and technology in small communities that are rapidly growing beyond their means. We aim to inspire residents, especially the youth, to lead change in their communities.
