HIVE – Harnessing Income through Value-Added Enterprises in Beekeeping for Environmental Sustainability and Trade

HIVE project is a community-led initiative by World Action Fund (WAF) in Omugo and Terego District, Uganda. The project promotes modern beekeeping,livelihoods sustainable cocoa production, regenerative agriculture, and eco-restoration to strengthen rural livelihoods. Farmers are trained in honey value addition, agroforestry, and planting bee-friendly trees such as Calliandra and Grevillea to enhance biodiversity and pollinator diversity. HIVE also supports community-led protection of wetlands and forest ecosystems. By integrating enterprise development with environmental conservation, the project builds climate resilience, increases incomes, and advances sustainable, inclusive local trade.

Empowering Teenage and single mothers

In Terego district, Uganda, single and teenage mothers face daily struggles of poverty, early motherhood, and limited opportunities. With no stable income or collateral, they can’t access loans to start businesses, leaving them trapped in a cycle that often repeats through their daughters vulnerable to teenage pregnancy and exploitation.

But hope is not lost. The group has started a savings box, and with your support, we can empower more women, protect girls, and build a future where no mother must choose between feeding her children and sending them to school.

Supporting Children

Terego District in West Nile sub-region faces persistent socio-economic challenges including poverty, school dropout, early marriages, teenage pregnancies, and limited access to adolescent-friendly health services. Many adolescents especially girls drop out of school due to pregnancy, lack of menstrual hygiene support, gender-based violence, and financial constraints.

Teenage mothers face stigma, limited livelihood opportunities, and poor access to childcare and psychosocial support. Children in vulnerable households often experience neglect, malnutrition, and interrupted education.

Without targeted interventions, these challenges contribute to intergenerational poverty, low literacy levels, and increased vulnerability to exploitation.

This project proposes an integrated, child-centered approach to education retention, adolescent empowerment, and economic strengthening of teenage mothers.

Community based Rehabilitation

World Action Fund has transformed the lives of over 2,300 persons with disabilities across Uganda through comprehensive, community-centered support. Our interventions include home-based rehabilitation services (physiotherapy) and the provision of essential assistive devices such as prosthetics, wheelchairs, walking canes, and hearing devices, restoring dignity, mobility, and hope.
