Joseph Kanani lives on what appears to be an island.

Living as a squatter surrounded by farms that do not belong to him.

He and his extended family are Batwa people,

Living in poor conditions, in a village north of Burundi's capital Bujumbura

Kanani says his family once owned land extending to the foothills,

"We do not have land, in the past we have had no representation in government

and anyone could come and build right in the middle of our land.

The public would treat us like dogs that cannot bite..."

Historically, the Batwa community,  one percent of the Burundi population,

This perception dominates their lives even now, says

Deogratias Ntikazohera Waling, a local government officer.

"They were not allowed to enter people's homes;

they were seen to be backward with no value and no future.

but the only obstacle is that there's no intermarriage with them,

Their births go unrecorded so the Batwa have no legal status.

With no land to cultivate, Kanani fends for his young family of three children

He earns 45 US cents a day, barely enough for a day's meal.
