With $4,355.23 co-investments from Mudzi Connect, the Chigwenembe Cooperative aims to strengthen their beekeeping business by purchasing additional beehives, honey processing machinery, bee suits, and packaging materials, thereby increasing productivity and market demand for their honey. Additionally, members of the cooperative will receive training in beekeeping to enhance their beekeeping skills. Upon completion, the project is expected to improve the living standards of the 96 cooperative's members of which 58 of them are women.
