Projects

The Kibaha Beekeeping Project in Tanzania, led by Ibrahim Hussein and supported by Weltweit and the Environmental Conservation Action, aims to harness the region’s rich biodiversity for sustainable economic growth. The project is establishing a Beekeeping Training Center funded by the BMZ Small Project Fund and the Ursula Merz Foundation, offering education and practical experience to new and experienced beekeepers. Through training, market access at trade expos, and environmental conservation efforts, the initiative seeks to increase local income, improve agricultural yields, and protect the Ruvu North Forest, promising a future of sustainable livelihoods and ecological resilience.

The project aims to provide a nature based educational experience to foster conservation values, get a better understanding of the ecosystem and lead a behavioral change from an early age. As part of this initiative, a four-month pilot project was designed to implement outdoor environmental education for children between 8 to 12 years from rural and public schools in Cochabamba-Bolivia, aligned with SDG 4.

This project involves the construction of a research centre on a established 3-hectare bamboo forest, in Ponta do Ouro, Mozambican southern village, in parallel with the expansion of 30 hectares bamboo cultivation. By planting and using bamboo in a sustainable way, we can create jobs, provide decent and affordable housing, feed and save thousands of lives while protecting the environment and reduce the risks from devastating floods.
