Today, Heifer Ethiopia celebrates smallholder farmers whose lives have been transformed through sustainable beekeeping practices.

Across Ethiopiaโ€™s lowland communities, farmers have increased honey production, improved household incomes, and built stronger livelihoods through better beekeeping knowledge and market opportunities.

This World Bee Day, we honor the farmers and the vital role bees play in supporting food security, biodiversity, and resilient communities. Together for people and the planet.

๐Ÿ Happy World Bee Day!

Following the Africa Forward Summit held in Nairobi, Kenya, on May 11โ€“12, 2026, African leaders adopted the Nairobi Declaration, placing agriculture, trade, investment, and food systems high on the development agenda.

In a recent article published in the Business Daily, Wairimu Munyinyi-Wahome, Country Director at Heifer International Kenya, reflects on what these commitments could mean for smallholder farmers and agribusinesses, and why implementation will matter as much as ambition.

The article examines the investments, partnerships, and opportunities needed to help farmers access better markets, increase incomes and create jobs and opportunities for young people.

From surviving hardship as a child to building a stronger future for her family, Shewaye Fentaeโ€™s journey is a powerful story of resilience, love and determination.

Together with her husband in Weyetu Village, Sidama Region, Shewaye raised six children and opened their home to a nephew in need. For years, the family struggled financially, relying on a modest income while searching for better opportunities for the next generation.

Today, through Heifer Internationalโ€™s Enhancing Livelihoods of Smallholders through Improved Poultry Business project, Shewaye is increasing household income, improving family nutrition and creating hope for her familyโ€™s future.

โ€œIt feels great, the amount of confidence that has grown in me is uncomprehensible,โ€ she says.

This , and during the , her story reminds us that empowering rural women creates stronger families, resilient communities and lasting change.
