SEEKING ASSISTANCE

Bee for Life Family Project is looking for donors to support their efforts to assist beekeepers in Teso Region, eastern Uganda. The aim is to provide a guaranteed market to beekeepers: the lack of domestic market for honey has made beekeeping activities dormant here. The Project is working hard to develop the beekeeping industry hoping to bring income to rural communities living in poverty. We are seeking grant support of US$310,000. /f you can help, please contact us through BFD. Omutoj Patrick, Project Manager.
