BEEKEEPING AND RESILIENT LIVELIHOODS

Equipping young people with necessary skills to promote sustainable beekeeping & development in rural communities.

While we acknowledge that beekeeping can generate income in rural areas especially for the unemployed population who even don’t own crops or farms – it is also a great pathway to improving food security and nutrition among infant areas where agricultural production is minimal.

This month November 2021; Prosper Mama Africa delivered an apiary training for the youth in Kiyoima, one of our project operational sites in Western Uganda. This way, we equip young people; especially the females between 14-18 years, and interested community members with the skills necessary to promote sustainable beekeeping and development. The session involved a lot of creative activities that illustrated to each individual ways of taking active roles in identifying and forging sustainable solutions to the challenges that may present themselves in due course.

The youth were ecstatic about the project. We are glad to see that young people are taking up action & embracing the initiative.

Prosper Mama Africa is currently implementing the Village Resilient model in 9 climate smart demonstration garden sites in Western Uganda to provide sustainable training grounds to the small holder farmers in the community (youth, women and men) as they collectively work together to respond to observed agricultural challenges. We believe this is a smart way to improve food systems, nutrition and support livelihoods in communities
