Together with its partner organization Helvetas, the LED has been investing in the HÔ-HALÈ project in Burkina Faso, one of the poorest countries in the world, for several years. The project aims to sustainably improve the food and nutrition security of rural communities in the southern Cascades region. This is achieved through the professional and entrepreneurial integration of young people and women into promising agricultural market systems. Skills such as the cultivation of Moringa trees, beekeeping and fish farming are intended to help families survive.
In the Helvetas video (link), Salmata (40), mother of 5 children in Burkina Faso, explains how she learned beekeeping as part of this project and how she is gradually creating a livelihood for herself.
This three-minute video is currently only available with French subtitles.
