About The Project

$725 needed to purchase beehives, materials and to rent land
$200 contributed by James towards his project


With initial investments James will buy manure to use as an organic soil amendment to help increase his vegetable production. He grows Irish potatoes, wheat, maize, millet, yellow bananas and sugar cane. With future investments he would like to add to his apiary. To do this he will add hives and protect it with fencing. He would also like to buy additional equipment to tend to the bees and harvest the honey. He plans to add additional flowering plants so the bees will have a local food source.



Paying it Forward

James has donated money to help families fund children’s school costs. 

Backstory

James lives with his family of nine, of which six children are in school. The older family members tend to the duties of their farm and apiary. Two of the older children work harvesting the sugar cane. With future savings his goals are to improve his home and plant more fruit trees to give the family a balanced diet. It is important that his children get immunizations and the family receives medical check ups through the VHT (Valley Health Team). One day he would like to buy a boda boda (motor bike). He sums up life in this rural area, “The area has good soils for growing crops but area has no electricity, schools or hospitals”.
