We Focus on Shea Communities

The shea sector is beginning to gain attention. However, there is a lot that these communities lack, despite being custodians of this precious resource. We believe that we can work closely with these communities to build sustainable ecosystems. This becomes a multifaceted approach and straddles 16 out of the 17 SDGs; see list below:
