• Here come the bees … and the honey!

With the project WONDERS: Forest Protection and Alternative Livelihoods in Mukwamba Village supported with funds from Otto per Mille of the Waldensian Church of Italy, Sport2build will produce the sweetest honey together with the local community in Mukwamba Village.
Bee-keeping and honey production are sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to charcoal burning which is causing severe deforestation in the community.
The first ten beehives are now hanging from the beautiful trees of the Chakwela Makumbi School and are housing two colonies of rescued bees saved from Lusaka where they would have been burnt.
