The Batwa people
The Batwa people are one of the last groups of pygmy people, and until Bwindi Rainforest was gazetted as a National Park they lived a hunter gather lifestyle in the forest. They are now some of the poorest people in the world with a high infant mortality rate and low life expectancy.
Bwindi Community Hospital provides outreach clinics for Batwa villages, giving access to healthcare and information. Friends of Bwindi hope to support this project.
