Program Details

Beekeeping & Animal Care Volunteer Program

Are you ready to get hands-on with sustainable beekeeping while caring for animals in a beautiful eco-farm setting? At Kilimanjaro Countryside Farm, volunteers will help build and manage our beehives from scratch, learning every step of the beekeeping process: hive construction, colony management, monitoring bee health, and harvesting honey. Alongside the bees, you’ll also assist in caring for our dogs and chickens, supporting their daily needs, socialization, and overall well-being. No prior experience is required just curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a love for nature.

Our program combines learning, practical work, and meaningful impact. Your contributions directly support sustainable farming and animal care while helping protect pollinators that are essential to our ecosystem. Volunteers gain hands-on experience in eco-friendly beekeeping and animal husbandry, develop new skills, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a thriving, green sanctuary. This is more than a volunteer experience, Its an opportunity to be part of a growing sustainable project, make a real difference, and connect with like-minded people who care about animals and the environment.
