The Batwa Whole Community Development Project is a multi-faceted program aimed ultimately at providing a safe and dignified place for the displaced Batwa and surrounding tribal communities within which they can heal, grow, and thrive.
The community hub is a self-sustaining whole village development project that provides quality health care, education, livelihood, and entrepreneurial opportunities for the Batwa and surrounding communities. In addition, we will provide comprehensive training in community transformation, peacebuilding, stewardship, compassionate leadership, and empowerment for women and children.
The project takes a multi-sectoral approach to the objective recognizing that promoting a whole community requires a broad spectrum of inputs and activities, including sustainable, ecologically sound infrastructure, livelihoods, services, and community healing and growth. A successful project incorporates a wide array of actors including the beneficiary community, secondary community (surrounding), local officials, tribal and religious leaders, and the varied voices of the young, old, and under-represented.
