Christmas Appeal 2025
for Beekeeping and Skills Training in Uganda.
Beekeeping is a very valuable skill, as there is always a market for honey! This project will train two teachers from five Food for Thought schools in beekeeping and provide them with eight beehives for each school, Queen bees, a protective suit, hat and gloves. A group of young people will train in carpentry to make the bee hives, and be rewarded with training and a bee hive each.
Can you help fund this project?
£5 buys sunflower seeds and flowering shrubs to feed the bees
£15 pays for a ‘smoker’ to calm bees when working with them
£25 buys wood and materials to construct a modern beehive
£35 will train a teacher for one day – 4 days altogether
£40 buys a protective suit for a teacher
£50 buys barbed wire to fence the apiary
