A little about RLEO
At Right Livelihood Empowerment Organization (RLEO), we believe that every woman and girl in Tanzania deserves a life defined by health, dignity, and economic independence. Based in the heart of Tanzania, RLEO is a non-governmental organization dedicated to bridging the gap in Hygiene, Sanitation (WASH), and Economic Empowerment through the unique and sustainable practice of Apiculture (Beekeeping).
Current works of RLEO
There is no permanent toilet facility at Ngaiti Girls Secondary School. A temporary two pit toilet was made from grass and not roofed, is not safe and secure for the girls. Students are suffering from a range of waterborne and parasitic illnesses due to lack of proper toilet facility. Due to frequent diseases outbreak at the school, the government has issued a letter to close down the school if toilets are not built.

Sanitation
Girls First
Breaking the Period Poverty Cycle In many rural regions of Tanzania, menstruation is still treated with stigma. RLEO works on the ground to: 1. Distribute Eco-Friendly Sanitary Kits: We provide reusable pads that last for up to three years, reducing waste and saving families money. 2. School Outreach: We build "Dignity Rooms" in schools—private spaces where girls can change and wash with clean water, ensuring they don't drop out. 3. Sanitation Infrastructure: Helping communities build ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrines to prevent waterborne diseases.

Beekeeping
Financial Stability
Beekeeping is a "magic bullet" for rural empowerment. It requires low physical labor, utilizes land that is often unsuitable for crops, and provides high-value products like honey, wax, and propolis. The "Queen Bee" Initiative We don't just give out hives; we build entrepreneurs. Our program includes: • Technical Training: Modern beekeeping techniques using top-bar and Langstroth hives. • Safety Gear: Providing locally made veils, gloves, and smokers. • Market Access: RLEO helps women package their "Legacy Honey" and connect with buyers in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and international markets. Environmental Impact By keeping bees, our women become the frontline defenders of Tanzania’s forests. Bees pollinate local crops, increasing food security, while the income from honey removes the need for charcoal burning or illegal logging.
