Two runners at the start line

"Traidcraft helps improve the daily lives of marginalised people in the developing world and that brings joy to my heart. That's why I'm willing to help Traidcraft achieve their aims through running. The atmosphere at the London Marathon was electrifying and the support from well-wishers and fellow runners was so good - they kept me going."
Kenneth Mahuma

How your support helps

Traidcraft is working with local partners in Tanzania to improve beekeepers' livelihoods through developing links to markets, improving the efficiency of production and quality of the honey, and organising beekeepers to help them trade more effectively.

"This season I have 25 buckets of honey and we harvest twice a year. But it takes 10 buckets of honey to pay for one child at secondary school. My children would not be going to school without money from honey."
Jabiri Nassoro
