Batwa Pygmies in North Kivu (DR Congo) explain their problems (The Forgotten Parks)

The Forgotten Parks has acquired land for these people to legally live on. With funding from the World Bank, we will build houses for the Batwa pygmy community, as well as health posts and schools; these facilities will serve both the pygmy community as well as the Bantu (non-pygmy Congolese). We currently support pygmy children with the provision of school equipment and uniforms.

Look us up on FaceBook (www.facebook.com/TheForgottenParks) for more information on pygmies and community development in Virunga and in the Democratic Republic of Congo or subscribe to our You Tube channel to stay informed.
