Henry Okiria — Learning Empowers Uganda

2004: Explorers Foundation invested $4,000 in Learning Empowers Uganda
 
We supported Learning Empowers Uganda founder Henry Okiria's plan to train and establish bee-keepers. Over 20 local farmers went through training and as of September 2006 honey had been produced. This investment grew out of Steve Elliott's (EF board member) visit to Soroti, Uganda to spend time with Henry. Thanks to Act with Genius for the introduction to Henry Okiria.
We funded the training, the construction of hives, and the purchase of some initial supplies. Steve designed, printed and shipped labels for the honey jars. The bees worked pro-bono, happy to have new hives.
