Following the violent earthquake that struck Myanmar on 28 March 2025, measuring a magnitude of 7.7, the region was particularly devastated. The most powerful earthquake to hit the country in more than a century, it killed more than 3,300 people and injured more than 4,600, according to provisional figures (as of 8 April 2025).

Essential to life, bees meticulously carry out the pollination of many plants. They also offer great potential and new opportunities for small-scale farmers.

Still relatively uncommon, meliponiculture holds significant economic and ecological diversification potential for rural communities and biodiversity. Stingless wild bees produce honey that is considered a superfood and a medicinal product. Whether for the local market or export, this precious honey is a valuable asset for producing families. With the aim of integrating this new component into our projects, we organized a training session for our partners from the DRC, Burundi, and Uganda, with the support of the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE).

Through our actions, we aim to provide comprehensive support for children and their families.

Through our health project in Uganda, we have contributed to improving the infrastructure of the Karita Health Center in the Karamoja region in the east of the country.

“Thanks to FH, I now have access to clean water near my village. This saves us from having to walk long distances every day to fetch it. We have more time to focus on our crops and school. We have enough water for our consumption, hygiene, and to cook and wash clothes. I am proud that our village finally has running water, it’s a dream come true!” Monica, Uganda
