Zambians depend on their forests for food, shelter, and income. By helping Zambian farmers access new markets for their organic honey, the Gelber's help them to preserve their vital forest ecosystem. The remote Miombo forests where the Zambezi Honey is produced has one of the highest densities of wild bee colonies in the world. These pristine forests are one of the world's last remaining biologically diverse ecosystems. Zambezi Organic Forest Honey is sustainably harvested using a 500-year-old wildcrafting tradition by over 5,000 registered organic beekeepers in Zambia. Traditional organic beekeeping helps prevent deforestation by generating a Fair, Livable wage from a forest resource other than timber.

The Gelber's manage their organic honey business with their Peace Corps values at heart: helping others and giving back. Adhering to strict Fair Trade principles, the beekeepers are paid, on average, 40% above market prices for their organic honey. Beekeepers are also supported with free materials and education on sustainable beekeeping, agriculture, and small-business skills. Zambezi Honey donates a portion of profits back to Zambia for projects such as malaria prevention, HIV/AIDS education, school scholarships, and rural-income generation grants.
