Help Sundarban Women
Build a Safer , Sustainable Future
A safer livelihood. A stronger community. A healthier Sundarbans.
Fund the ProjectCreating a safer, sustainable alternative
to forest-based honey
collection.
Women in the Sundarbans can face serious risks when entering forests to collect wild honey. Community-based beekeeping offers a path toward safer, more sustainable livelihoods while supporting pollinators and the local ecosystem.
A livelihood that can
come with a
dangerous cost.
Forest honey collection is deeply connected to life in the Sundarbans, yet entering forest territory can expose collectors to serious hazards, including tiger and crocodile encounters, difficult terrain and changing environmental conditions.
