28/10/2009 Meet Aziza Farah*, a 38-year-old mother of 3 from northern Buurhakaba.
A few years ago, Aziza was a poor rural farmer living hand to mouth. Today she proudly talks of her ability to adequately feed her family, thanks to her three beehives.
“Before starting beekeeping I was a crop farmer. Despite labouring for over eight hours on the farm every day, I never received enough harvest to feed my family, leave alone sell anything. This was until I was provided with beehives, a smoking cane, gloves, a plastic basket and goggles,” explains Aziza. |
