The Batwa Project
According to the 2002 population census, the Batwa population in Uganda is about 6000, with the majority living in the Southwestern districts of Kabale, Kisoro, Kanungu, Bundibugyo and Rukungiri
As a person who grew up in Kisoro, I interacted with the Batwa community at a tender age, some of whom we went to school together, this left me attached to them so much; so in 1991,when the government implemented conservation projects to protect mountain gorillas, Uganda’s 6700-strong Batwa community were evicted from Slopes of Mount Muhavura and Bwindi impenetrable forests where they had lived for centuries. There is nothing as painful as seeing as friend lose a home, these childhood memories made me grow up with a dream to make a difference in these Batwa communities when I grow up. In 2015 after running the Bashem Transporters Co. Ltd, I felt something was still lacking as far as achieving my dream towards making a difference in the Batwa community hence the birth of Bashem Safaris Batwa Project.
