Overview
The Initiative & Community
Launched in May 2025 in Rwanda’s Nyamasheke District near Nyungwe National Park, the Eco Hive Guardian Initiative is a community centered project transforming lives through ecofriendly beekeeping. It boosts local livelihoods with sustainable honey production and at the same time champions environmental conservation. Through forest protection efforts, educational outreach, and advocacy, the initiative helps communities safeguard their forests and biodiversity for future generations.
What we do
The Brief of The Initiative
We train local beekeeping cooperatives in modern and clean beekeeping, support better honey handling and packaging, and help them connect to markets. Alongside income growth, we run conservation awareness activities that encourage communities to protect the environment they depend on.
