Unfortunately, many societies don’t expect much from marginalised groups: they can’t because they’re disabled, they can’t because they’re a woman, they can’t because they look different. We know that’s not true, we know “This Beekeeper Can” but we need your help to make it happen. Bees Abroad enables marginalised groups to become beekeepers, to gain skills that create opportunities to build, grow and gain economic independence.
Bees Abroad invites you to join the Big Give 2023 Christmas Challenge and help empower marginalized communities to thrive through beekeeping and prove that “This Beekeeper Can!”
