Beeswax candles to promote sustainable development and female economic empowerment in rural Tanzania

Oct. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Tanganyika Apicultural Limited (https://www.indiegogo.com/campaigns/natural-air-purifying-african-beeswax-candles/edit/www.tanganyikaapicultural.com) is a registered social venture (registration number 109573). We are promoting our all-natural handmade beeswax candles in support of our efforts to further the sustainable use of natural resources in rural Tanzania, economic development and female economic empowerment.

Our beeswax candles are organic and natural. They also purify the air (http://www.care2.com/greenliving/brilliant-beeswax-candles.html) by releasing negative ions that eliminate pollutants and allergens.

We also have many other ways to thank you for your contribution to the development of the rural Tanzanian beekeeping industry.

Beekeeping is the fastest and lowest cost way to double household earnings in rural Tanzania that is also socially and environmentally sustainable.

Tanzania has over 2 million traditional artisanal beekeepers, but they suffer from lack of access to modern equipment, training, finance and markets. Tanzanian beekeeping has yet to meet its poverty-alleviating potential.

The benefits of our intervention extend far beyond charity. We aim to demonstrate that Tanzania has the human capacity and the natural resources to sustainably and ethically produce high quality bee products.

With your help we plan to show the government, development banks, exporters, retailers and financiers that investing in rural beekeeping is a win-win economically, socially and environmentally.
