Setting up the hive

Status of the case

We give thanks to God for this cause, which was fully funded. We thank the donors for their generosity. Thanks to the various forms of support, we were able to begin this beekeeping project by installing three hives, while we wait to expand our operations even further. They were placed on trees, which increases the safety of farmers in the surrounding fields. These hives have already welcomed bees, so we can say that the cause is progressing well. This cause is very beneficial to the center, and it is also a place for the project's beneficiaries to acquire knowledge in beekeeping and income-generating activities. We bless the Lord for your lives and your commitment to the cause of children. May God bless you abundantly as you continue to provide for the needs of other partner churches.
