“Queen Bee Candles got involved with Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) which aims to create economic opportunity for people in need by applying business concepts to develop outreach projects. We are using our experience of running a company to create a series of workshops to transfer business knowledge so that those in need can create their own sustainable income. Our Queen Bee project, along with an international project working with a co-operative in Rwanda, won us the ‘Spirit of SIFE’ Award, for new teams that show great potential. It has not only increased brand awareness of our business, but allowed us to create a Business Advisory Board with some key business leaders to assist with our SIFE projects.”
