Lubwisi

The Babwisi people live on the western slopes and plains of the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains. They have traditionally lived as subsistence farmers, but some grow cash crops like cocoa, coffee and rice. Years of fighting between rebel and government soldiers have taken their toll on the Babwisi, as have famine, poverty and diseases like HIV/AIDS.
