Validation of Pygmies

To Work for the Acknowledgement, Elevation, and Protection of Ota’s People

The committee is working with the Congolese government, civil society groups, institutions of higher education, and activist organizations to find meaningful and sustainable ways to help Pygmies, the very marginalized and threatened indigenous people of Congo.

These are Ota’s people. We cannot change the quality of Ota’s life, but in his name, we can do very good things to benefit his people with no strings attached.
Under the banner of Ota, we can bring tangible help and work to build a culture in the DRC that embraces diversity and promotes human dignity for all.
