Bzzz bzzzzzz bzzzzz!

What's all the buzz about?

FARM-Africa works with farmers, herders and forest communities in eastern Africa. The community in the Nou Forest, Tanzania, depends entirely on the forest for survival, often cutting down trees to burn for firewood or to make space for crops.

FARM-Africa has been helping people to explore new ways to earn a living which protect rather than destroy the forest. Our long term participatory forest management approach has enabled community members to increase their income through improved management of resources.

FARM-Africa provides bee hives and training to families in the Nou Forest, giving them an alternative, sustainable way to survive without damaging their environment. The honey harvested is an excellent food source, and can be sold at market and used for medicine too.

If you are looking for an exciting alternative gift a FARM-FRIENDS bee could be just what you are looking for.

For just £10 you receive two gifts in one, a cute model bee and a pack of 'happy families' cards explaining some of the ways your donation is helping African farmers work their way out of poverty.
