Rainforest bee keepers for Save the Children

In 2023 I was assigned by Save the Children International to visit the Solomon Islands and document their work supporting remote communities to become bee keepers.

During my visit to a remote community in Malaita Province, Solomon Islands, 10,000 bees arrived in the community along with a week-long training program for 74 community members including mother of five Alison.

The program is teaching mostly women and young people to diversify their incomes through honey production and divert communities away from harmful farming practices like logging, which accounted for 60 per cent of the country's exports in 2019.
