Goal Two:
Porters at Bwindi
Support the development and expansion of food related sustainability project that will allow the porters in one of the four major porter's association to supplement the income they receive from tourism.
This project will be coordinated with the support and project accountability controls of the Rafiki Wildlife Conservation Initiative.
The OCF will provide small annual grants to purchase bees for honey and chickens for eggs. A few of the porters have already established 35 bee hives that are producing honey. This project will start with one porter association [Bwindi Bujengwe Porters Association] and if the first project is successful, we may expand to include members of additional porter associations in the future.
