Kenya
Entashata
The women of the beehive project stand near the beehives. The project started when the Women decided that they wanted to empower themselves. They approached Entashata CBO for help and started the bee hive project. They have a bank account where they keep all the proceeds from the honey that they sell.
“Through this project we have become empowered and independent. From the income we have gotten we have been able to help the needy and sponsored two children through school.”
One of the major cahllenges that they face is lack of equipment for harvesting and sometimes the honey goes to waste because they do not have the harvesting gear and apparatus. They aslo need better stands for their bee hives becasue termites attack the stands that they currently have.
