Women Empowerment Through Honey Bee Farming 2007 Commitment

Excerpt from: President Clinton Opens Third Annual Clinton Global Initiative Meeting in New York; a press release from the Clinton Global Initiative, September 26, 2007.

"Hashoo Foundation In December 2007, the Hashoo Foundation will launch the Honeybee Production project in the Northern Areas and Chitral (NAC) regions of Pakistan, which are amongst the poorest and most isolated in the country. Women account for 55% of honeybee producers in the NAC, but receive only 35% of the total income generated by honeybee production. With a strong focus on developing the production of by-products and creating linkages with markets, the Honeybee Project will allow local women to increase their income and provide for themselves and their dependants while expanding their future prospects."
