š Spotlight: Support the Semuliki Batwa Pygmies with SeeeMe
š« 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, SeeeMeās support has been vital.
š« Our Mission: We ensure that Batwa children receive education and care at āOur Lady of Annunciationā, Bugombwa Nursery and Primary School, offers a supportive inclusive environment for their growth and learning.
š¤ 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.
š² 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 isnāt enough. Weāve been contributing $500 per term, yet more is needed to ensure these children have access to nutritious meals, including vegetables, rice, and meat.
š Local Leadership: The Batwa community is led by King Nzito Geoffrey, with the schoolās daily operations managed by Sister Juliana Bugombwa.
