Survival International

Our work is preventing the annihilation of tribal peoples. We give them a platform to speak to the world. We investigate atrocities and present evidence to the United Nations and other international forums. We support legal representation. We fund medical and self-help projects. We educate, research, campaign, lobby and protest. And we won’t give up until we all have a world where tribal peoples are respected and their human rights protected. |
The Kellermann Foundation
In just over a decade, your support . . . has helped these programs evolve immensely. The Kellermanns’ open-air clinic has blossomed into one of the most successful hospitals in Uganda, and a much wider network of programs now offers new possibilities for the Batwa and their neighbors. The region now enjoys a 112-bed hospital and an advanced-level nursing school. The Batwa of this region now have access to educational support at all levels, permanent homes, gardens, spiritual outreach, literacy, economic development, and more. Programs continue to address the root causes of extreme poverty and poor health throughout the district. |
Batwa Baskets
BatwaBaskets was founded in 2007 to help the Batwa people who were displaced from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. All proceeds from basket sales directly support the Batwa Development Program, a project of the Kellermann Foundation, a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. Every dollar you spend at BatwaBaskets makes a tremendous difference |

Enjoy an incredible day hike in the rain forest with Batwa guides, see how the Batwa lived and hunted, learn about medicinal plants, and watch for animals and birds. |
