Bee the Change – Sustainable Beekeeping Makes a Big Impact

By supporting sustainable beekeeping in north-western Tanzania, you help women, young people, and vulnerable groups build steady incomes, gain self-reliance, and protect the climate. One bee alone can’t do it all, but together we can make a world of difference.

In northern Tanzania, thousands of families live without a secure livelihood. Outdated beekeeping methods put both bees and the environment at risk. Climate change is making life even harder – but a solution is within reach.

Modern beekeeping gives people the tools to shape their own future. By introducing sustainable practices, we help local economies grow, strengthen family businesses, and open new opportunities for entrepreneurship. Beekeeping also improves harvests and supports healthy ecosystems.

With your support, over 9,000 farmers can receive training, equipment, and a path towards lasting income. At the same time, we are replanting more than 1 million trees, protecting pollinators, and helping communities adapt to climate change.

How can Sustainable Beekeeping Build a Brighter Future for People and Nature?

Beekeeping is more than producing honey—it offers families a stable livelihood and helps protect nature. In Chonyonyo, where farming is often uncertain, beekeeping opens new possibilities. With training and support, local farmers learn to care for bees in ways that benefit both people and the environment.
