Hey, honey an award
Dreams don t come much sweeter than this. Honey Care Africa, a small business in Kenya supported by the International Finance Corporation, has won the first Equator Prize. Launched in 2002 by a cluster of international agencies such as IUCN (the World Conservation Union) and the World Bank, the prize honours community-based poverty reduction initiatives in countries on or near the Equator. Honey Care introduced Kenyan small-scale farmers to commercial beekeeping and successfully built a market for their honey, together with Africa Now, a British NGO. The key to success? Apparently, their micro-leasing approach whereby more farmers can access processing and packaging technology. Didn t Spore talk of micro-leasing years ago?
