🐝 Leadership in Action: Nabakyala Grace’s Beekeeping Journey in Kalebera A
Meet Grace, the Nabakyala of Kalebera A—a woman whose leadership is transforming lives through Dharmic Uganda’s honey beekeeping initiative. As a respected voice in her local council, Grace saw the potential of beekeeping not just as a livelihood, but as a tool for community empowerment.
After completing training supported by World Connect and Honey Bee Products Uganda, Grace mobilized fellow women to join the project. She began with three transitional top bar hives and now manages ten, producing high-quality honey that sells in local markets. Her earnings have enabled her to pay school fees for her grandchildren, invest in household improvements, and support other women through savings groups.
Grace’s influence goes beyond her own success. She regularly hosts community sensitization meetings, mentors new beekeepers, and advocates for women’s inclusion in local decision-making. Her story is a powerful example of how traditional leadership, when paired with opportunity, can spark lasting change.
This is what grassroots resilience looks like—led by women, fueled by honey, and driven by purpose.
