We empower vulnerable and disadvantaged children through music, art, dance, and pottery, helping them discover their talents while preserving our cultural heritage.
Little Angels
OUR APPROACH
Together, we can ensure that no child is left behind, and that every child has a reason to smile.
Bwindi Little Angels is a community-based, non-profit organization located near the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southwestern Uganda. We were founded with a simple but powerful belief; that every child deserves a chance to play, learn, create, and live with dignity.
Our work centers on nurturing creativity and empowering vulnerable children through art, music, dance, pottery, and cultural education.
We aim to give children not only joy and confidence but also practical skills that can help them build brighter futures. The support given, whether through donations, partnerships, or volunteering, helps us bring hope to the hearts of children who need it most.

Meet Our Cheer Leader – B. Wright
“…They were viewed as primitive, and they had no political representation or legal recognition. As a result, the Batwa remain intergenerationally impoverished, homeless, socially excluded, with high rates of illiteracy, malnutrition, illness, and child mortality. The average life expectancy for the Batwa is 28 years…”

WORKING WITH THE BATWA PEOPLE
The Batwa of Rushaga, one of Uganda’s most marginalized indigenous communities, were displaced from Bwindi Impenetrable Forest when it became a national park.
Today many families live in extreme poverty on the forest edge with limited access to food, healthcare, decent housing, and education. Our Batwa Community projects runs targeted, community-led programs that directly address these basic needs while preserving Batwa culture, dignity, and self-reliance.
With your support, we aim to help the Batwa people to move from survival to stability, while ensuring their rich cultural heritage and voices remain central to every solution.
Every initiative is designed and managed in close partnership with Batwa elders and families to ensure lasting impact and cultural respect.
