 <description>&lt;i&gt;Development Through Enterprise&lt;/i&gt; doesn&#039;t have a direct relationship with Honey Care Africa, so I can&#039;t give you any specific financial information.  I would recommend contacting Robert Nyambaka directly at robert@honeycareafrica.com.&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;</description>

&lt;strong&gt;Activity Description: &lt;/strong&gt;
Honey Care will delivers honey, in affordable, easy to use packages to the slum areas in Kenya. It is unique in the sense that the product is of the same quality that is used for export, and it gives slum dwellers the opportunity to benefit from the healthy uses of honey. Honey is composed of saturated sugars, thus it sucks up water from the cells. This deprives bacteria of the liquids they need, thus stunting their growth. Further, as bees make honey, they secrete glucose-oxidase, an enzyme that releases the hydrogen peroxide when it comes in contact with wounds. This release ensures anti-bacterial activities while washing the wounds.Another unique feature of this product is that is is natural, and will be packed by slum dwellers themselves. In light of this, it becomes an income generation activity. Further, the distribution will be carried out by existing small outlets in these slums - thus adding to their product line and hence revenue stream.The product is simple to use as the package will have to be pierced and eaten within 3 helpings - thus, there is no need for complicated storage facilities. The product is cheap - lower than the cost of bread in the slum areas. Further, this product is versatile - and can be eaten with bread, biscuits, with tea and also with hot water.Currently, modern medicine is very expensive in the slum areas - and many dwellers would not even be able to afford one dose - in fact, many of the dwellers have problems finding their next meal. Thus pure honey, packaged in our 75g packages, sealed with foil, will be suitable to this market.&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
