🌍 Spotlight: Support the Semuliki Batwa Pygmies with SeeeMe
👫 Background: Since 2020, SeeeMe has supported the Semuliki Batwa Pygmies in Uganda, a community displaced from their ancestral land in the early 1990s. With 127 individuals, including children who face stigmatization and bullying in local schools, SeeeMe’s support has been vital.
🏫 Our Mission: We ensure that Batwa children receive education and care at “Our Lady of Annunciation”, Bugombwa Nursery and Primary School, offers a supportive inclusive environment for their growth and learning.
🤝 Collaboration: While we coordinate with organizations like Fight for the Forgotten, our focus remains on the day-to-day needs of the Batwa, particularly in education and nutrition.
🍲 Urgent Needs: The rising costs due to COVID and global issues have spiked food prices. The school spends about $1700 per term on basic meals like beans and posho, but this isn’t enough. We’ve been contributing $500 per term, yet more is needed to ensure these children have access to nutritious meals, including vegetables, rice, and meat.
👑 Local Leadership: The Batwa community is led by King Nzito Geoffrey, with the school’s daily operations managed by Sister Juliana Bugombwa.
