From Feb. 22-25, 2022 in Ikom, Nigeria, Winrock International under the John Ogonowski and Doug Bereuter Farmer-to-Farmer (F2F) Program, Assignment Number: NIG461.L/R assisted Amba Farmers Voice with a Volunteer Master Beekeeper, Ms. Nathalie Biggie from Bee Mindful (http://www.bee-mindful.com/) to train the refugees in beekeeping.
Due to Covid 19 travel restrictions, the Masterkeeper could not travel to Nigeria. The training was conducted via zoom. Nevertheless, she provided training to over 30 refugees and host country women in beekeeping.
Some of the refugees trained in turn, trained 10 beekeepers from the Ogoja refugee camp from the knowledge that they gained from the Masterbeekeepr from Bee Mindful.
With the start of the rainy season, refugees in Ikom have started placing their hives in the forests.
We will continue to update donors on the progress of the work.
We sincerely thank the donors who continue to assist the vulnerable refugees in learning how to keep bees to be able to support their families.
