Kibaha Rural District, Pwani Region – In a bid to promote sustainable economic empowerment, our team recently conducted an outreach program to launch beekeeping groups in the villages of Minazi Mikinda and Kitimondo within Ruvu Ward, Kibaha Rural District.
Event Highlights
The visit served two key purposes:
-
Official Invitations: Distributing launch invitations to local beekeeping groups.
-
Educational Workshop: Training community members on the importance of modern beekeeping techniques for honey production and environmental conservation.
Why Beekeeping?
The initiative aligns with Tanzania’s broader goals of:
-
Poverty alleviation through agro-based income generation.
-
Biodiversity preservation by supporting pollinators.
-
Women and youth inclusion in eco-friendly enterprises.
“Our mission is to equip pastoral communities with skills for self-reliance. Beekeeping offers a low-cost, high-return solution to uplift rural economies,”
Next Steps
The newly formed groups will receive:
✔️ Starter kits (beehives, protective gear).
✔️ Ongoing mentorship.
✔️ Market linkages for honey sales.
