“Empowering Women, Enriching Lives: Transforming the Shea Value Chain Together”
Dear Partners, Friends and Supporters of Fair Shea,
Our team and beneficiaries would like to wish you the best in the 3rd Quarter of 2024. It is our hope that this newsletter will help and motivate you create sustainable solutions to problems facing your community.
At Fair Shea, we are ensuring our interventions offer sustainable solutions such that beneficiaries can think creatively and develop ideas that will offer permanent solutions to their problems.
We appreciate your support and partnerships in empowering and unearthing potentials within shea communities in Ghana.
Thank you!
Implemented Activities
Empowering Women: From Shea Nut Pickers to Shea Butter Entrepreneurs"
The organization has secured funding to provide skill enhancement training to 460 women shea nut pickers across five districts in Northern Ghana.
Throughout their lives, these women have only been involved in picking shea nuts for sale, limiting them to the marginal profits from the raw nuts.
Our intervention aims to equip them with the skills to process their nuts into shea butter and develop various organic body products, thereby increasing their income potential.
Motorbike to Ease Transportation
Bay Veritas donated motorbikes to the organization to facilitate travel for our team members who journey long distances to remote villages to identify beneficiaries for our intervention.
Training in Nanton and Savelugu for Shea Nut Pickers
Upcoming Activities
SKILL ENHANCEMENT TRAINING FOR 160 WOMEN IN GUSHEGU AND YENDI
Gushegu and Yendi are two districts in Northern Ghana with a significant number of shea nut pickers and butter producers, many of whom have inherited their skills from their grandparents.
As they establish families and take on greater responsibilities, maximizing income from their trade has become essential. Therefore, the organization will provide training to primarily shea nut pickers in these districts during the 3rd quarter of the year.
PROCESSING AND WAREHOUSE PROJECT IN NANTON
As part of its efforts to minimize waste and maximize the use of abandoned structures in rural communities, the organization will renovate a suitable abandoned building in Nanton District.
This renovated structure will serve as a processing unit for women in both Nanton and Nanton Kuruchu districts, similar to the one replicated in Malshegu.
