As a divorced woman , I was suffering without any income, but now I see beekeeping as a source of income for myself and 6 children living with me. The knowledge gained on cooperative management, volunteering and Beekeeping has changed our status..

Beneficiaries
- Children / Young People
Very many of our project participants are young people aged between 20 and 30.
- Adults
Women, particularly those heading single parent families, in rural communities in sub Sharan Africa. We teach them to become competent Beekeepers for Life. We provide materials to make hives and protective clothing.
- People with Disabilities
Individuals, traditionally marginalised by their communities due to a disability are supported with beekeeping training. This in turn gives them the chance to be empowered as independent individuals and have a respected role in the community.
