Please tell us, what are the special difficulties that those children in Katanga and of the Batwa pygmy tribe face?

Batwa Pygmies are an Indigenous group of hunter-gatherer forest-dwelling people. Forced from their lands in the 1990’s, they now exist in settlement camps, and are denied access to their homeland by Authorities. Their story is a sad one. They are indigenous to the Bakiga in Kabale. The community was forcefully evicted from Kisoro forests and Mount Mufumbira where they survived as hunter gatherers. It constitutes less than 1 % of Lake Bunyonyi’s population, where they have been resettled by the government.
