3 Days, 9 Women, 90 Beehives to build.

I am one of the nine and on 31st May, travel to Tanzania to build beehives in the Nou Forest. The 90 beehives that we will build will provide a good base for 15 - 20 local community members to develop a honey business.

Tanzania's forests are disappearing at a disastrous rate, equivalent to approximately 1500 football fields every day. As forest loss reduces water supply for local communities, they struggle to grow enough food to eat and turn to felling trees for income to survive - a vicious circle destroying the very resource they need to survive for the long term.

Those of you who know me will be aware of my long standing passion for both food and the food industry. This charity enables me to combine that passion with the opportunity to help some members of a community far less fortunate than the one that I am privileged to be a part of.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I hope that you feel able to support me in this cause.
