NANDI COUNTY, KENYA – For years, beekeeping in Nandi County has remained an underutilized goldmine—practiced by a few, yet capable of transforming the livelihoods of thousands. Savannah Honey Ltd is changing that narrative with the launch of the Nandi County Beekeeping Capital Support Program, a bold initiative that marries hands-on training with direct access to financing for farmers, youth, women, cooperatives, and aspiring agripreneurs.

The program is not merely about teaching beekeeping; it is about building an ecosystem. Participants will gain practical skills in modern apiculture—ranging from hive construction and pest management to honey processing and marketing—while also receiving tailored guidance on how to secure capital to start or scale their operations. The goal is clear: to move beekeeping from the periphery to the mainstream of Nandi’s agricultural economy.

“We are tired of seeing our people struggle with seasonal crops when a single beehive can generate consistent income year-round,” said a Savannah Honey representative. “This program is our commitment to walk with the community—not just with advice, but with real financial support. We want every participant to leave our meetings knowing exactly how to turn honey into a sustainable business.”

The initiative comes at a critical time when diversification and climate-smart agriculture are more urgent than ever. Beekeeping offers a low-input, high-reward alternative that thrives even in dry spells, making it an ideal enterprise for smallholder farmers and landless youth alike. By creating a network of well-trained, well-capitalized beekeepers, Savannah Honey aims to position Nandi County as the undisputed beekeeping capital of Kenya—a hub for premium honey production and export.

Sensitization Meetings Across All Sub-Counties

To kick off the program, Savannah Honey is hosting a series of community sensitization meetings across Nandi’s six sub-counties. These interactive forums will serve as the entry point for interested individuals and groups to learn about the program’s structure, eligibility criteria, and application process.
