Last year over 100 under-served communities contact us to ask for support. These communities see beekeeping as an opportunity to create new livelihoods, opportunities and ultimately work towards their community’s vision for a better life. We are raising funds to support these communities.

Situation
Communities across Sub-Saharan Africa are working hard with little to no resources to build a better life for themselves. In places with no formal job market and very limited government support, communities are coming together to work collaboratively on building a better life. Many communities identify beekeeping as an opportunity to achieve their visions and reach out to us to request support to gain the skills and knowledge needed.
Solution
Bees abroad works directly with communities and in-country partners to train in local beekeeping practices, business skills and the protection of the environment. Working with local partners and trainers, we provide the skills and resources necessary for communities to become successful beekeepers. The income from beekeeping can increase a household income by 20% and is often re-invested by communities to improve shared resources or create other livelihood options.
