Hashoo Foundation (HF) Pakistan in collaboration with HF USA implemented a ‘Plan Bee’ project in the Gilgit-Baltistan region funded by Houston Students USA (HS USA). The overall goal of the project was to increase the income of 20 poor women through the sale of honey. The women were trained in honey bee farming, 60 beehives (3 each) and production kits were distributed among the new beekeepers. HF works with these beneficiaries to ensure the effective utilization of the training and its contribution towards the improvement of their household. The project began in January 2014 and concluded in December 2014.
