The Kiini Sustainable Initiative (KISI) is a bee-keeping initiative located in Kirinyaga County, in Kenya.
The Initiative, made up from several groups, is community owned and is self- supported in most of its activities. The support provided by Bees Abroad focuses on capacity building.
The project aims to assist in sensitising farmers on the importance of bees and bee products. Through capacity building, the group plans to increase their incomes from sale of honey and other hive products, and ultimately, to establish a sustainable bee enterprise. CERA-Rights is the Local Delivery Partner – they have worked very successfully with Bees Abroad for several years.

The Mothers’ Union of the Anglican Church of Kenya (MUACK) is affiliated to St. Andrews Nanyuki Parish in Nanyuki town, in Laikipia County, Kenya.
It is mainly a ladies fellowship in the church that has been actively involved in Anglican Church activities including evangelism, mentorship to motherhood and in Church development projects.
Besides being actively involved in church activities, the Mothers Union has a welfare department that aims at supporting each member of the group. The welfare was started in 2009 with ten mothers; today it has grown to 24 active and committed members undertaking group activities.
In order to avoid conflicts with other church activities, the welfare group has registered a group by the name ‘Joy Mothers Self Help Group’. It is this group that has become involved in beekeeping.
