Project A

Project Honey

  • Rural households in Sirajganj face chronic poverty due to dependence on climate vulnerable agriculture and low income labour.

    Erratic weather patterns lead to declining crop yields, degrade the environment and reduce natural pollination. This harms agricultural productivity and therefore exacerbates economic insecurity.

    Despite beekeeping’s potential to provide sustainable income and enhance crop yields, most rural households lack the skills, equipment, and market access needed to practice apiculture (beekeeping) effectively.

  • Ignite Global Foundation (IGF) will empower 20 families by introducing eco-friendly beekeeping in Sirajganj. Priority will be given to women-headed households, small farmers and unemployed youth.

    Each household will receive two hives, protective gear, and training in apiculture and honey extraction.

    IGF will work with Pushpa to develop branded packaging and marketing for the honey, and will link producers to local and online markets.

    Enhanced pollination will promote environmental sustainability and increase yields in crop systems such as mustard, mango, and litchi. IGF’s ongoing mentorship, monitoring and market linkages will ensure long-term impact for the underserved families.

  • The project will generate sustainable income for 20 beneficiary families, who will:

    • Produce a collective 1,500 – 2,000 kg of organic honey per year, strengthening local economies

    • Sell their honey at BDT 300 – 400 per kg

    • Earn an average net profit of BDT 34,500 annually from honey and beeswax sales

    Project Honey will combat poverty, contribute to economic growth, and boost crop yields and biodiversity, creating a replicable model for eco-friendly, community-based livelihoods.

Project B

Project Nest

  • AIn Naogaon, Rajshahi, low-income families rely on poultry farming for nutrition and income.

    However, the widespread use of chemical additives, antibiotics, and growth promoters in commercial feeds has created serious food safety issues, compromising the quality of meat and eggs.

    Consumers are increasingly concerned about these health risks and are demanding organic, chemical-free alternatives. At the same time, small farmers lack access to knowledge, resources, and markets for producing and selling safe poultry products.

    This limits their income potential and perpetuates unsafe food production practices that threaten public health and environmental sustainability.

  • Project Nest, proposed by Ignite Global Foundation (IGF) will empower 20 families to raise poultry organically within their homesteads.

    Each family will receive:

    • 100 chicks

    • Organic feed

    • Small poultry sheds

    • Technical training in poultry rearing, hygiene, and business management.

    IGF will establish partnerships with organic buyers and support beneficiary families with branding and organic, chemical-free certification to boost sales.

    Through promoting sustainable agricultural practices, Project Nest creates a reliable income source and strengthens food safety standards for the 20 beneficiary families and their community.

  • The beneficiary families are projected to each earn around BDT 39,500 in the first year, increasing by 25% in subsequent years as infrastructure costs decline.

    Project Nest’s effects will be felt community-wide, as beneficiary families will supply safe, chemical-free meat and eggs, while promoting community-based entrepreneurship.
