These indigenous peoples from Kenyan’s western highlands have suffered forced removals from Kenyan authorities over the years. According to reports, many projects, including the World Bank-funded programmes have had devastating consequences for these hunter-gatherers.

Since 1964, the Sengwer have been barred from their ancestral forests but they still return and are now largely living in makeshift homes, camped out on roadsides, media reports say.
