I started my developmental work after three years training / seminar organized for selected few Nigerians between 1998 and year 2000 by British DFID/CBDD. My wife, Chief (Mrs) Elizabeth Adenike Areo, was appointed Chief of Women in Agriculture (IYALODE AGBE) for Ogbomoso South Local Government, because of our numerous contributions in using bee products, including the painful bee stings, in the treatment of a lot of ailments in our community here. Beneficiaries of our programmes are the infants/children, pregnant and lactating women, the young and old people suffering from series of body pains, high blood pressure, diabettes, malnutrition etc. CTA of The Neitherlands has been our technical partners too all along. CTA has been assisting us with series of technical / processing books. I have established 4 OSBAD groups and got them registered with Oyo State Ministry of Commerce and Cooperatives but have not gotten any fund to implement our programmes. I use all the income I realize from beekeeping enterprise to carry on with our developmental visions. Despite all efforts, we are yet to receive any assistance from any arm of the Nigerian Government. Our organization is non political. We want to establish international and direct connections with interested sponsors with interest on loan of between 0 and 3% annually, to implement our programmes that would help change the lives of the abject poor for better. This would start from her and spread gradually to the whole world if we can get the necessary support and connections with those interested in our areas of focus.
I produced a small book titled OVER 100 USES OF PURE NATURAL HONEY, WONDERFUL COLA AND OTHER BEE PRODUCTS FOR HEALTHY LIVING. It was first published in October of the year 2002 and reproduced in October 2003. Since then their had been high and regular demand for this book which I can not afford the cost of printing copies that will make go round the country. I have a proposal on how to use the book for effective nation-wide sensitization, project land acquisition, membership drive, promotion of beekeeping enterprise and uses of pure natural honey for healthy living in each family in Nigeria. I seek for sponsors / donors on this proposal.
