Batwa Development Program Initiatives
Education
Education is one of the surest ways to combat extreme poverty. The BDP sponsors hundreds of students in school, at every level from nursery to university. We have over 400 children in school.
Healthcare
The Batwa and their neighbors are ensured of high-quality, low-cost healthcare, and they benefit from regular visits to their communities for health education and local outreach.
Home Building
Once Batwa families have acquired land, the next step is to build a home. The BDP has built approximately 150 homes for Batwa families in which about 47 are interlocking brick homes. Recipients fully participate in the construction, along with their community members.
Income Generation
The BDP is empowering the Batwa to become self-sufficient by helping them discover and establish self-sustaining income generation projects, including the Batwa Experience.
