In 1992 the Batwa were evicted from the
Batwa Handcrafted Art
© Batwa Artist, 2011
with Evelyn (Manager of the Batwa Craft banda) and members of the Batwa
Impenetrable Forest in order to protect the
endangered Mountain Gorillas and to attract tourists.
As a result, the Batwa were left impoverished without
a home or a means of making a living.
And Marsha had a dream...
Batwa products are hand
made by the Batwa Pygmies
in Uganda who are working
to improve their lives and
community. The sale of
these handmade crafts will
help them provide for their
families and help preserve
their unique culture.
