This campaign has now closed
Bees for Development is working to grow beekeeping skills and knowledge to benefit more than one thousand people in Ethiopia, a country with a rich beekeeping heritage. We must now build the capacity of our team of local staff to deliver our expanding programme of quality beekeeping training.

Situation
The Amhara region of Ethiopia is extremely poor, and life prospects for people living there are limited. The Bees for Development Ethiopia team is helping many rural people to supplement their income in a wholly sustainable way. Bees for Development Ethiopia runs an extensive training programme with skilled trainers, yet has not become self-sustaining, until now relying upon our full support (both management and financial support) from the UK. We want to develop their capacity in this regard.
Solution
Bees for Development Ethiopia has proved to be a hugely successful and viable operation. We propose to bring a sustainable staffing model to the team, to give it a more stable future, and to increase its role within the areas of Ethiopia where its work is most vitally needed. The organisation was founded in 2012, and by now has acquired excellent skills, and a very high reputation, in beekeeping training provision, however more management skills are needed to achieve self-sustainability.
