Arinaitwe Gerald, an Batwa indigenous organizer I talk to regularly who lives in southwestern Uganda, is currently having trouble providing for orphaned children he and his wife have taken in in addition to their own children after their mother passed away a bit over a month ago.

One of the children, a 12 year old girl named Immaculate, is in serious pain due to having a cyst caused by goiter. She had been recommended for surgery all the way back in October, but because $700 is nowhere near an amount her late mother or Gerald and his wife can afford, she has still not gotten the treatment she needs and they are even having difficulty getting the $85 needed for an injection that would potentially help decrease the pain and size of the cyst temporarily.

Please spread this fundraiser and donate if possible! Immaculate and her siblings, as well as the Batwa people at large need all the help they can get, and no 12 year old should have to go through all that she is currently dealing with.

They’re still like $400 away from their goal. Like if you wanna donate donate to this

This June of 2018 a Mutwa* woman was the victim of a horrific hate crime, she put on fire and suffered serious injuries. Us at the Batwa Indigenous Development Organisation (BIDO) have done our best to organize to help her, and with the help of our friends and donors abroad, we have paid for her...
