The Batwa Project

Background of the Batwa The Batwa, or ‘Twa people are one of the last groups of short-statured people also known as ‘pygmy’ people from the west, because of their height. They are one of the oldest surviving tribes in Africa, but their culture, identity and language are under increasing threat, Since the general perception about them by the public is that they are; barbaric, wild, uncivilized, untidy, ignorant, and above all else sub-human which has made them consistently excluded from the main stream of the society thus the continued marginalization. Activities this part is still under development. We agree. We believe that it is not possible to achieve long-term business success in a world which contains poverty, hunger and climate change. But can business really help drive a reboot of the current system? At Bashem Safaris East Africa, we think the answer is 'yes'. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), launched by the United Nations in 2015, are an excellent vehicle for driving this change. They represent an action plan for the planet and society to thrive by 2030. They address poverty, hunger and climate change, among other issues central to human progress and sustainability.
