Bee Keeping
The project Empowering Indigenous Communities through Sustainable Beekeeping Practices in Kenya supported by SIEMENPUU
BEE3
The project Empowering Indigenous Communities through Sustainable Beekeeping Practices in Kenya supported by SIEMENPUU aims to strengthen livelihoods, enhance environmental conservation, and promote intergenerational knowledge transfer among Indigenous communities. Through capacity building, community engagement, documentation of best practices, and awareness creation, the project seeks to position beekeeping as a sustainable, climate-resilient economic activity that supports income generation while safeguarding biodiversity. A key component of the initiative involves developing user-friendly educational materials to support learning within schools and community institutions.
As part of this effort, EIWEN and the project partner organizations, Ogiek Peoples Development Programe (OPDP), Society for Alternative Learning and Transformation (SALT), Yiaku Laikipiak Trust (YLT), and Lmartin Peoples Association (LPA) successfully produced and disseminated 400 educational materials on beekeeping best practices. The dissemination activity was carried out across all five Indigenous communities targeted by the project, ensuring that learners, youth, women, and community groups gained access to essential knowledge on sustainable apiculture, hive management, and honey value addition. These materials now serve as a vital resource for strengthening local capacities, preserving traditional knowledge, and supporting the growth of community-led beekeeping enterprises.
