Through the sale of honey, these women can provide food for their families and purchase seeds for ongoing harvests. Most importantly, they can afford to pay for their children's education and medical care.
Cameroon is rich in vegetation and provides ample forrage for bees.
In Cameroon, as in many African countries, families must pay fees for each child to attend school. With approximately 40% of the population living below the poverty line, many parents struggle to meet even the most basic needs.
