“My father had no money to pay my school fees and luckly enough a women’s group invited me to their beekeeping program on one condition: I stayed in school. My honey profits paid my fees, and beekeeping gave me independence.”
Katungu Majorine, Bee Keeper
“Before beekeeping, I struggled to provide for my children as a widow. Farming was unreliable, and some nights, they went to bed hungry. But beekeeping changed everything, I now earn enough to support my family, and my children are healthier and happier.”
Masika Mary, Bee Keeper
“Joining a beekeeping project changed everything in my life. My first honey harvest changed my financial status. Today, I mentor other survivors, proving that I am more than “the abandoned wife.”
Biira Night, Bee Keeper
“Beekeeping changed my life. My first harvest paid for my children’s school fees and gave me hope. Now, I supply honey locally and mentor others, proving that even the smallest creatures can create big opportunities.”
Kabugh Janet, Bee keeper
