Beekeeping is a fantastic opportunity for poor people to generate income, as it needs no land and has low start-up costs. Jabiri Nassoro has been beekeeping for nearly 20 years, and the support he has received through Traidcraft's project in Tanzania has helped to increase his income from his honey business. This has made a huge difference to his family. "My life is becoming better because of the bees. I can eat better food. My family have better clothing. I am now planning to change the house to have corrugated iron sheets for the roof."
£25 could help another beekeeper like Jabiri to increase their income from honey and improve life for their family.

Why should I give Gifts for Life?
Gifts for Life are unique presents that will bring joy to a friend or relative - and make a lasting difference to the lives of producers in developing countries struggling to make a living.
None of these gifts are a quick-fix for poverty. Traidcraft's charity, Traidcraft Exchange believes in lifelong solutions brought about through better trade. Every gift in this catalogue will help a small-scale producer to make the most of their wonderful skills by enabling them to sell their produce to local and overseas consumers for a fair price.
