Uganda - Batwa Tribe - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

A Batwa woman in traditional dress uses reeds to make a basket. She is one of the Batwa pygmies from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. They were indigenous forest nomads before they were evicted from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest when it was made a World Heritage site to protect the mountain gorillas. The Batwa Development Program now supports them.
