In the remote village of Nakaseke, tensions between the Batwa minority community and their neighbors had been simmering for years. The Batwa, often marginalized and excluded, struggled to access basic services and opportunities. “We felt invisible,” says Kato*, a Batwa community leader.
VOGAfrica stepped in to bridge the divide. Through our community dialogue programs, we brought together leaders from both communities to address their differences and find common ground. “At first, it was difficult,” Kato admits. “But as we talked, we realized we all want the same things—safety, education, and a better future for our children.”
Today, Nakaseke is a model of inclusivity. The Batwa community now has access to clean water, education, and healthcare, thanks to collaborative efforts with their neighbors. “We are no longer invisible,” Kato says. “We are part of this community, and we are stronger together.”
This transformation is just one example of how VOGAfrica is building inclusive communities across Uganda. By fostering understanding and collaboration, we are creating a society where everyone has a seat at the table.
