The Sweetest Gift Appeal
Campaign by Jeevika Trust (RCN 291167)
Give some of India’s most disadvantaged women the sweetest gift - a helping hand out of a cycle of poverty & dependency through beekeeping & honey production.

Story

By training them in the art of beekeeping & the production & marketing of honey, Jeevika Trust has helped hundreds of impoverished women in rural India become self-sustaining village entrepreneurs with increased household income, a greater level of respect within their communities and a brighter future. Sweet, right?

We need YOUR help to reach more women & help lift them out of a life of poverty & dependency.

Salma, who took part in our 1st project, was able to sell her honey at the local market, helping her to send her younger siblings to school & give her mother access to much-needed healthcare. Investing in women benefits their families & wider communities too.

She said: “I am so happy that I am now able to help my family. With any extra money, I want to buy more hives”.

We know the project works. We’ve already identified villages & women like Salma that desperately need our help. Please give the sweetest gift & help us make it happen!
