Saving the Honeybees Worldwide

Online, November 19, 2013 (Newswire.com) - What if you could take free natural resources that are at once self-perpetuating and self-sustaining, turn them into food to live on, as well as a viable business in which a whole community can take part?

This concept is exactly what the people of the community of Kakamega in Western Kenya have set their sights on.

Currently having neither the funds nor the training to utilize the natural resources surrounding them, they are actively seeking a means to make their business endeavor a reality.

Their focus: the underutilized and abundant natural resource of honeybees.

The Opportunity

Beekeeping in Africa remains a viable source of both income and food. One of the great things about beekeeping is that it is accessible to everyone, regardless of age or gender.

Men, women, boys, and girls can all participate and learn every aspect of the business for themselves.

Access to funding, proper training and proper equipment is their contribution.

Bee Happy in Kenya will provide access to both funding and education so these good, hardworking people can acquire the proper equipment and training to fully utilize their natural honeybee resource. Together with their own human resources, they can develop growth-oriented businesses creating income, empowerment, needed products, and food.

Each of the three apiaries founded will be affiliated with a local school for orphans. As the businesses grow these children will increasingly receive honey, beeswax, and education!

By donating to this project, you will be able to see the birth of these businesses online. Starting from scratch, you will watch the evolution of the business ventures, and how they will affect the individuals involved.

The Bee Happy in Kenya project's focus is to:
- Bring empowerment to impoverished communities
- Increase nutrition for orphaned and destitute children
- Save the honeybees worldwide
