"The venture we are developing is a social enterprise in the Recife
Metropolitan Region (RMR) of Brazil. It will provide training and
transitional employment for disadvantaged young people who currently
have limited opportunities within the formal labour market. The working
title of this project is Beeconomics. We have investigated the viability
and efficacy of an apicultural (beekeeping and bee-product harvesting)
business involving the production, marketing and distribution of raw bee
products and bee-product-based personal care/cosmetics. We consider
such a venture to have significant potential for positive social,
economic and environmental impact.Brazil’s economic growth and poverty reduction programmes have increased the potential for social and economic mobility. However, due to pervasive inequality and exclusion, many of the country’s young people face significant barriers to formal legitimate employment."
