» Bees Without Borders has a global mission to educate and train impoverished individuals and communities in beekeeping skills.

» African Honey Bee enables families from severely disadvantaged rural communities to build sustainable micro-beekeeping businesses – producing raw honey of unrivalled taste and quality, using environmentally-friendly and ethical beekeeping practises.

It runs practical, community-based projects whose principal activities are the development, funding and support of locally-run, self-sustaining education initiatives and supporting market access.
