The Konjeihi Women's Enterprise Centre: How Baraka's Cooperative Partnership Works

The Konjeihi Women's Enterprise Centre is located in Ghana's Upper West Region and is governed by its women members — the shea producers whose cooperative labour underpins every batch of Baraka's ingredients. Baraka founder Wayne Dunn has maintained a direct relationship with the cooperative for over 15 years, a partnership that has included more than $100,000 in infrastructure investment and has materially changed member incomes and economic independence. This article covers how the cooperative is structured, how it is governed, and what that direct relationship has meant in concrete terms for the women who are its members.

This piece is distinct from Baraka's Fair Trade Story page — it focuses on the cooperative itself: its founding, membership structure, governance model, and the specific infrastructure built through Baraka's investment. Readers wanting the full documented picture of Baraka's impact will find the fair trade story and the impact report the right companion pieces.

This is a placeholder page — the full article will be published here shortly.
