50 female shea nut
collectors
In Burkina Faso, we are continuing
to work in partnership with
PNCE-BF (Burkina Faso network for
fair trade organisations) to support
producer groups and communities.
This project is supporting 50 female
shea nut collectors to increase their
income through agro-processing.
Following training in shea soap
and butter production, the women
were provided with production
kits. With support from local shea
co-operative COPRONOS, they are
producing soap and butter to sell on
the local and international market.
Ten of the women received training
in processing néré leaves into
soumbala, a popular local spice.

“The income from the
shea processing will
help us to improve our
diet, buy medication
when we or our
children fall sick and
also pay the school
fees of our children.”
