If you are interested in the activity we carried out to promote beekeeping among kenyan secondary school students to strenghten their livelihoods, you can find some information in the following article:

Basically, in our project, we merged research (to understand local bees and apiculture, to develop suitable rearing techniques and equipment, to organize an effective teaching program) and education (to reach young students), in order to strenghten the livelihoods of people living in the central highlands of Kenya.
Together with the students involved in the project, we realized a beekeeping manual containing also the projects for the self-making of all the equipment needed to successfully implement the techniques explained in the text.
