The Batwa are the indigenous population called ‘Pygmies’, which corresponds to an ‘anthropological designation of individuals belonging to various human groups characterised by small stature’. Small stature is the consequence of growth retardation due to inadequate nutrition for prolonged period of time, especially during the first five years of life. Scientific studies show that the Batwa diet is sub-optimal in every age group, and especially among women, children and the elderly, leading not only to short stature (defined as ‘growth retardation’ or ‘chronic malnutrition’) but also to acute malnutrition, which has a high morbidity rate with irreversible effects on their development, as well as a high mortality rate. In this population, the average age is very low, but some older Batwa who preserve the knowledge and traditions of the population are still present. Therefore, we decided to implement projects that can reduce food insecurity, educate on sustainability in agricultural and animal food production, as well as food distribution to the most vulnerable individuals who are unable to produce their own food.
