Pygmy Survival Alliance has been working in a Batwa Pygmy village outside Kigali since 2008. In 2009, we saw the fruits of our unique approach to community development, when one woman from the village traveled to tell her story to another Batwa Pygmy village.
On 25 Sept 2010, PSA leader Karl Weyrauch, in conjunction with The Rwandan organization Health Development International-Rwanda (HDI-R) traveled to the village of Kabeza in eastern Rwanda to engage the people there. The team provided an immediate intervention of nutritional supplements for malnourished children, medicine to fight the pervasive intestinal worms, and shoes to prevent the transmission of skin worms through the feet.
