Your donation will help create the first Batwa-owned and led cultural centre in Kanungu district, Uganda.

Since their eviction, the indigenous Batwa community lives on the peripheries of their former home – the forests – which they are not allowed to enter. They are yearning to reconnect with their ancestral lands and culture.

This centre will serve as a vital source of income and cultural preservation, providing the community with a sustainable means to cultivate plants that are essential for their traditional medicines and crafts.

Batwa heritage is vital for the community's sense of identity, mental health and wellbeing. Donate today to let the community know they are not alone in their efforts to protect it for future generations.
