Apiculture (Beekeeping)

This project, focused on job creation, revenue generation, and environmental protection. In partnership with Bees Abroad and WWANC, women are being mentored and trained in beekeeping best practices, business skills, value addition, hive production, and market linkages.

By investing in community-led initiatives and collaborating with local needs, we ensure a sustainable and lasting impact.
