We are farmers who are working together and we request your support. We are lacking bee suits and other equipment like modern beehives."

As part of our Entrepreneurial and Livelihoods program, Give Us Wings has been working with this awesome cooperative. There are 375 members, the majority of whom are women and youth. They have a Board, a small office, and with Give Us Wings' help, they've developed a strong business plan. The now need more gear and equipment to take them to the next level-- improving the quality and quantity of their products and thus increasing their household income, improving their food security and their access to health care and education.
