Education Initiatives
At BDP, we are committed to supporting Batwa education by providing various forms of assistance. A few of the ways we do this is by covering school fees and providing educational materials to ensure Batwa children are attaining the best education possible. Additionally, we take care of lunch fees and pay facilitation and salaries for their teachers, ensuring they can focus on their essential role in educating the students. We also purchase land, support the construction of classrooms and other necessary school structures, and provide required resources such as teachers’ materials, books, and other items needed for the smooth running of these schools.
We currently oversee four schools, three of which are BDP-founded (Nina Waits Mukongoro Nursery and Primary School, Byumba Pres’ Nursery and Primary School, and Mama Diane Nursery School). The fourth school, Kishanda Community Nursery and Primary School is overseen by BDP but primarily supported by Emily Spitzer through the Kellermann Foundation.
We feel so proud as BDP when we see Batwa graduatesand former students working and serving within the community. Seeing our work and service come full circle is truly beautiful.”
