The Zomba Action Project (ZAP) was set up as a charity in 2003 to link Coleraine Borough Council, N Ireland with Zomba Municipality, Malawi. In August 2007, the late Rev Sam Millar presented his proposal at a club meeting outlining that an entire village's beekeeping venture could be established at the modest cost of £400 - this would include setup costs for 10 hives and basic beekeeping equipment. On a regular basis since 2008, the club has contributed £400 to this project and following the death of Rev Sam, contributed £2,200 from the auction of his equipment and from donations, presenting a cheque at the annual honey show. The club funded bee boxes, smokers, bee-suits and training to make sure the project was a success.
