Since 2020 our stickers have helped provide for the needs of Batwa children by helping cover school fees.
In 2021 our stickers helped complete a building project for a new dormitory as well as a multi use building.
Since 2023 our stickers supported sustainable food projects for the Batwa so that the children don't go hungry.

The Ahwahnechee lived in Yosemite Valley for centuries. It is believed that they may have lived in the area for as long as 7,000 years before they were evicted from the valley by the U.S. government in 1969.

The Batwa are one of the oldest documented tribes in Africa, living for thousands of years as the “Keepers of the Forest.” They were evicted from their home so that the Bwindi Impenetrable Rain Forest could be made into a preserve to protect the 350 mountain gorillas.
These unique sticker designs are created using pictures drawn by children from the Batwa tribe in Southern Uganda. We work with a nonprofit that runs a school for children from the Batwa tribe and help support their education through our sales.
Conservation Refugees
Conservation refugees are people who are forced from their homes when the land they live on is turned into a protected area such as a National Park. The United Nations (UN) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimate the range of conservation refugees worldwide is five million to tens of millions. The criminalization and expulsion of native people continue to this day across the globe, all in the name of conservation and biodiversity. The Miwok, Paiute, and Ahwahnneechee of Yosemite Valley. The Maasai of Eastern Africa. The Batwa of Uganda. The Basarwa of Botswana. Tribes and peoples who had lived and cultivated the land in harmony for thousands of years have been killed, pushed out, and forgotten by a world that seeks to protect 'nature' while living lives far more damaging to nature than the aforementioned groups.
