The Batwa people are the most marginalised indigenous minority groups in Uganda. Originally the forest people who used to live in what later became Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in south western Uganda. These people were forcefully evicted from their ancestral land by the government in early 1990s where they were known to be initial custodian of Bwindi impenetrable national park.

Since then, the Batwa have suffered all sorts of injustices including cultural, economical, social exclusion and discrimination that have threatened their existence as people. This has led to the loss of their social dignity, belongings, forest related knowledge and skills and displacement hence rendering them homeless.

As a result, Most of the Batwa who live in communities adjacent to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park live in extreme poverty, poor access to education services, poor access to health services, lack access to clean water, lack any income generating activities and they also lack land on which to settle and farm.
