In Uganda, many farmers used to discard beeswax—unaware of its value.When I began working with local communities, I introduced a simple innovation: the solar wax melter.
Using only sunlight, farmers now transform discarded comb into clean beeswax—ready for candle-making, cosmetics, or extra income.
No smoke. No electricity. Just sunlight and knowledge.





Appropriate technology like this doesn’t just improve processes—it empowers livelihoods and builds sustainability from the ground up.
This is the kind of impact I’m proud to be part of.
