The Batwa commonly known as pygmies, are an endangered group of people around Echuya Forest Reserve in Kisoro and Kabale Districts of South-Western Uganda.They are also believed to have lived in the Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga National parks that border the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda living mainly in areas bordering other Bantu Tribes.

In 1992, the government of Uganda decided to gazette all the National Parks and Forest Reserves most especially Bwindi Impenetrable National Park which had became World Heritage Site and of which it was a home to a very large population of Batwa.  As a result the Batwa were evicted from the park. Since they had no title to the land, they were given no compensation. The Batwa became conservation refugees in an unforested environment unfamiliar to them. Poverty, drugs and alcohol abuse were rampant, as well as a lack of education facilities, HIV as well as gender-based violence and discrimination were higher among Batwa communities than among the neighboring Bantu communities.

Due to all those circumstances our Ministry has decided to stand and support the Batwa in any possible ways, through Preaching and sharing the word of God to them and even support them materialistically. We do all this to restore their Hopes and help them stand firm in the word of God and to let them know that Jesus is the Lord and He loves them too.

They have with stood a test of time going through discrimination, through that we help them build their self esteem so that the can withstand social misfit and discrimination
