Combining cashew farming and beekeeping can increase a household’s income by 30%.

2020 Matching Campaign for Economic Development Projects

We are raising money to help fund cashew farming and beehive ventures in northern Ghana. Cashews are sometimes referred to as “grey gold” for their economic potential. Placing beehives on the farm not only increases the crop yield, but also provides additional income through honey and beeswax. In addition, cashew trees are resistant to the impacts of climate change in the region.

Even a small donation can go a long way. All donations will be matched up to $5,000 so your donation essentially has double the impact!

Even a small donation, can have a large impact

About $25, provides enough cashew seedlings for a 5-acre farm
About $30, can clear/prepare an acre of farmland for planting. We ask that farmers provide “sweat equity” meaning they clear two acres of land themselves and then we help them clear two more acres in order to expand their farming operation.
About $70 = 1 beehive
