Ojoba Women's Shea Cooperative:
Shea butter is made from the nuts of the fruit of the Karite, or Shea, tree which is native to West Africa.
We work directly with 125 women in a poor subsistence-farming village in Northern Ghana. They process the shea butter in the same traditional method that they learned from their grandmothers, which is truly a labor of love.
These women live under difficult circumstances as subsistence farmers in the arid Northern region of Ghana, West Africa. They must cope with poor, rocky soil, unreliable rains, and little public infrastructure such as affordable transportation, communications, health care or education. In addition, about 80% of the women we work with are also widows; the most vulnerable segment of society.
With the income produced by the purchase of Ojoba Collective Shea butter; these women are finally beginning to see some improvement in their lives. Not only can they feed themselves and their children, but nearly all the children are now enrolled in school.
For the first time, these women can dare to dream about a better future for themselves and their children.
