As a business we value giving back to our broader community, especially those who do not have easy access to markets. Thus, we partner with brands who are community conscious and are providing small businesses with skills to become self-sustainable.

For this month we have chosen to highlight Tenacious Bee Collective (TBC).

Over the years, TBC has created Ecosystems of Self-Dependence, where local communities and rural people don’t have to depend on bigger urban setups for survival. They have been tirelessly creating awareness among people about their own rights and opportunities to self-sustain in their own communities.

In Himachal, TBC is empowering women, one village at a time. Thus, boosting the local economy as women are a major force contributing to the growth of communities.

TBC has organized several trainings in beekeeping in collaboration with local government. TBC has trained a workforce of women for more than 2 years now. Today, these women are looked upon as role models by other unemployed women of the village. They will soon be spearheading a training program for other women in their respective villages.
