Kakwale Youth Club Bee Keeping and Honey Processing Enterprise
Project Launch: 8-5-20
The Kakwale Youth Club will expand on an already existing beekeeping enterprise by installing 20 new beehives. They plant to establish a small scale honey processing and packaging factory shop where honey will be sold. The 18 club members have identified the 5,061 community members as potential customers for their products. With the potential of producing up to 1,050 liters of honey per year, the project will promote economic independence among the youth club members allowing them to pursue other business ventures and investments while at the same time contributing to forest conservation.
