Bee Against Poverty
Donation protected
BEE Against Poverty (BAP) is a sustainable income generating project that not only helps vulnerable rural communities (our first being in Zimbabwe) but also the environment by sustaining the bee population.
The Honey Bee population has declined dramatically worldwide in the past ten years due to a number of factors including human intervention. The bee bank in Zimbabwe has also been greatly affected, hopefully with good management, training and other similar projects this can be reversed.
Ratidzo Trust’s work involves supporting orphans, their host families, the elderly, widows and those living with disabilities. We sponsor school fees & run income generating projects aimed at helping the most disadvantaged. Our current project is in a very rural area of Zimbabwe called Sanyati that suffers from high levels of poverty and unemployment. Many people have been affected by HIV/Aids and struggle to survive.
We require 20 hives to start our project in Sanyati, along with other beekeeping & honey production equipment. This will produce 300 - 400 litres of honey twice a year. We will use this project to train other disadvantaged people in beekeeping and the profits will help set up similar projects in their communities around Zimbabwe. This could be done through schools, churches, community groups & individuals and will raise much needed income for their community.
Please donate and BEE Against Poverty.
