In Malawi, a gift of bees gives poor people the opportunity to generate an income — especially women and those living with HIV and AIDS. And the sweetest part about bee-keeping is, unlike other crops, it doesn’t necessarily require as much land. So be one of the first to get this sweet gift for those who don’t have much to begin with at all.
In Malawi bee-keeping gives poor people the opportunity to generate an income, as they can sell their honey at the market. Oxfam Australia supports bee-keeping projects in Malawi with a particular focus on helping women and those living with HIV and AIDS. The sweetest part about bee-keeping is that, unlike crops, it doesn’t require much land to thrive. “The money realised from the sale of the honey harvested from this project will be shared amongst households participating in the project and will raise their living standards.” Chibalo Village Leader, Malawi
