Part of the proceeds are set aside for community development. The community also came together to establish a stretcher club, so that, when needed, the funds are available to get someone to hospital. The campground provides marketing and a venue for the Batwa people to sing and dance for visitors, thus supplying this displaced community with a means of earning money to buy food. It also works with a group of about 30 local children, providing English lessons, and environmental and tourism awareness. Finally, one of the most significant benefits the development of the community campground has provided is the road itself, which the community built themselves, by hand.
