How your support helps
In Tanzania, our Bee Fair project is helping people like Henry. We are working with local partners to improve beekeepers’ livelihoods through developing links to markets, improving the efficiency of production and quality of the honey, and organising the beekeepers to help them trade more effectively.
“I have been able to buy livestock to help with the ploughing ….if I get more money for my honey I will improve the house and make sure that my daughter continues to study.”
