The BEZA Foundation raises funds to support the BEZA Association in Lalibela to implement activities with the following objectives:

​

Social Enterprise:  To support income generation and to raise funds for the BEZA hardship fund through:

  • Through the BEZA social enterprise, BEZA members handcraft beeswax candles and sell these  to generate income.
