Diversified livelihoods such as beekeeping can help improve the income of rural communities. Apart from producing honey to sell to market, beekeeping helps promote conservation of the natural environment, which many poor communities depend on for food and energy
UNDPâs Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCAP) is committed to helping vulnerable rural families increase their incomes.
As part of the livelihood component, the project provided four beehives, beekeeping tools and jars for honey, including a 12-day training that gave beneficiaries the necessary skills to maintain their beekeeping business.

Text story:
_________
For Karima, one of the happiest moments of her life was when she earned her first thousand Afghani (US$ 15), when she sold a kilo of honey made from her own bee-keeping business. It may seem like a small amount, but for Karima, it was life changing!
Karima is a housewife and a mother of four. Her husband could barely feed the family from the work he could get, so Karimaâs contribution to the household income was significant.
She has seen a lot in her life. She still remembers the agony and frustration when they had no money and their son was sick. As tears well in her eyes, she relates, âWe were not able to buy him medicine. We couldnât do anything but cry and wait for him to either die or recover by himself.â
Her husband, Khalil, who was very fond of honey, tried his hand at beekeeping before, but because he didnât know how to maintain his beehives, his bees all died.
But, Karima and Khalil did not give up. They decided to seek help from the Directorate of Agriculture in Herat city.
UNDPâs Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCAP) is committed to helping vulnerable rural families increase their incomes.
As part of the livelihood component, the project provided four beehives, beekeeping tools and jars for honey, and, crucially, a 12-day training that gave beneficiaries the necessary skills to maintain their beekeeping business. Karima, who lives in in Qala Safid village in Herat province, was one of the recipients.
âWe learned many things about the bee keeping,â says Karima, âlike feeding times, honey extraction and reproduction of honey bees - things I never knew before.â She adds, âI once used lemon to bring back unconscious bees back to normal.â
Now, equipped with the knowledge and materials, Karima and Khalil expanded their apiary from just four to ten beehives, and they plan to increase the number to 13 in the next year. With the business growing, they are now making 80 to 90 thousand Afghanis each year by selling their honey.
âMy bees are our breadwinners now!â Karima says, looking at her queen bee proudly. âI feel like the queen is representing me and looking after the honey factory!â
Beekeeping requires less inputs for production compared to other agricultural activities and livelihoods. It requires less land, water and labor to generate high levels of income.
With low initial support, beekeepers can get an immediate high income. Thatâs why beekeeping has the potential to transform thousands of lives here in Herat province.
âBy the grace of God, we have a reliable income now and can buy what we need, including medicines or treatment,â says Karima.
Beekeeping in rural areas, where the communities have limited resources such as land and water, can help boost incomes for families like Karimaâs. In addition, beekeeping helps boost food security, and assists crop production through pollination. Almonds, apples, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherries, cranberries, cucumbers, sunflowers, watermelon and many other crops all rely on honey bees for pollination. Diversified livelihoods such as bee increasingly improve the income of rural communities consequently people can adapt and manage climate change risks.
So, thanks to her new beekeeping skills, Karima and Khalil truly have a reason to âbeeâ cheerful!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have a successful high-end venture with The Row, which successfully breaks the “Aim Low” rule because, like Victoria Beckham, the twins made a really good product that critics love. Meanwhile, their less-expensive but still-pricey line, Elizabeth and James, has become ubiquitous at go-to, trend-driven retailers like Shopbop, Intermix, and Net-a-Porter -- all without being too closely associated with the twins’ names.
At the other end of the spectrum, the twins’ Olsenboye line for J.C. Penney follows the rule of affordability, making it highly appealing to the tween mass market.

An initiative to provide household sanitation for 500 low-income families living on the Cabo Verdean island of Santiago, is expected to result in several important spinoffs. Among these are the rejuvenation of a declining agriculture industry and the diversification of local diets − results that have the potential to significantly improve the quality of life of island residents.

Great Hall
Prince Quarter, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands
Listed: 10/24/1986
The Estate St. George Historic District documents a successful and diversified sugar estate developed in the late 18th century. The plan, construction and operation of the sugar estate are documented by the numerous buildings and structures in the historic district. These buildings and structures embody the distinctive characteristics of the type and method of construction of 18 and 19th century structures built on sugar estates.
The district is also significant for its potential to yield important information on the development and operation of sugar estates on St. Croix. The Estate St. George Historic District is one of many surviving sugar estate compounds on St. Croix. Each sugar estate is a different interpretation of a typical pattern. Sugar production was the reason St. Croix was acquired and settled by the Danes; the establishment and operation of sugar estates on St. Croix is a significant local historical theme.
All structures and buildings in the historic district are typical of late 18th and 19th century estate structures built on St. Croix. The roughly coursed masonry structures of cut and uncut rubble are typical of the type and method of construction common on St. Croix.
Estate structures on St. George and other St. Croix estates were utilitarian structures planned by the estate owner or manager and built by estate slaves trained as masons and carpenters. The thick masonry walls have splayed door and window openings. Although originally protected by a thin coat of lime plaster, only fragments of this covering remain. The factory ruin features ranges of arched openings typical of larger factory structures.
The workmanship and quality of the St. George buildings and structures equal or surpass that on other estates. The water control system is an unusual feature on St. Croix which required engineering expertise.

incorporation of potato and sweetpotato into family diets. This has increased the nutritional knowledge and improved child
feeding practices for the Malawian population. This is possible through the VISTA and RTC action projects funded by USAID and Irish Aid respectively.
