After living in Tanzania for many years, we now live in the UK and support groups overseas as we continue to be passionate about seeing local churches transform their communities!

Thank you! Almost Halfway!

Thank you!

Thank you so much to everyone who is supporting The Hive! We are now two days away from the Ready Steady Cook Hive Challenge, almost halfway through our month of fundraising for these amazing women and incredibly, we are almost halfway to our goal! 


Thank you so very much to all of you who have already donated! Thank you to everyone sharing our story with others ... we love that in celebrating the story of the women, we have celebrated Emma and Farhad's wedding and also Heather's birthday!

It is going to be wonderful to see Aikande able to continue in her role with the women with albinism at The Hive in Mwanza. And to see Bhatendi expanding her work training more beekeepers in community groups around Mwanza who can bring their honey to The Hive! So please help us get there! If you would like to donate, please head to our Hive Fundraising Page! Every bit helps!

Ready Steady Cook Hive Challenge

We are excited for Saturday's Ready Steady Cook Challenge and look forward to seeing what interesting concoctions emerge from the creative chefs that are zooming into The Hive from the UK, Tanzania and Canada! 

If you are not able to join us (or just a bit zoomed out!) we would love it if you can share a photo of something you have made with honey and a few other ingredients ... you can give it a good name and even share the recipe. If you can tag in #helpthehive and share the Hive Fundraiser Page it helps to spread the word. We look forward to posting photos and results here next week! 

Spoiler Alert ... Amisadai, Louisa and I are calling ourselves Team Topbar and our dish will be named "Honey, There's a Chicken in the Bee-n Hive!"

Inspirational Women

The girls and I have really enjoyed thinking about and celebrating women who have inspired us! We realise just how much we appreciate community. We are so privileged to know so many wonderful people, who we can learn from in so many different ways. To see how we all have different gifts and callings and how important that uniqueness is! And then also reading and thinking about women in the past who have blazed trails and overcome challenges is so encouraging.  We hope you have also been inspired by their stories and we look forward to sharing some more with you next week! 

Also coming up we want to share some exciting news for the Mwanza beekeeping project... but we will save that for next week!
