Picking Shea: A shortie from the Shea Forest

Join us live from the Shea Forest as we watch women and families from Tabiasi (a community near Wa in northern Ghana) picking and eating shea fruit, a first step in turning this natural treasure into Baraka Shea Butter.

Listen as @Alfred Akolgo, Baraka’s Country Manger describes the work they are doing and how it is part of their life and so core to their economic sustainability. Watch at the end as we catch Baraka team member @Lily Mwintoma taking pictures of us taking a picture of her! (we have a fun team – so dedicated and so easy to work with)
