What our customers say

"Working with Desert Rose on cross-cultural cooperation has been a great experience for our entire team. Before, we felt that there were some gaps and misunderstandings – afterwards, we were able to identify them, talk about them and resolve them with a smile.“

"Desert Rose has been instrumental in our organization's continued growth and effectiveness in pursuing our mission. DRC has facilitated our efforts of setting a clear organizational culture. They have also exponentially raised my staff's cultural intelligence, which has led to improved relations throughout the entire school. I highly recommend DRC and their services."

"Desert Rose provided invaluable support for the preparation and execution of a multi-day problem diagnosis and response workshop with practitioners and policy makers that presented several challenges. These included translating across language and culture (English to Amharic) and navigating a changing agenda to accommodate the group's diverse needs. The workshop was highly received by participants. We appreciate Desert Rose's commitment to excellence and their ability to excel under pressure."
