Introduction to the Story of Shea Butter

Shea butter is the seed fat of the shea fruit, and this video begins the story of how it is made. Baraka's shea butter is made by hand by women's groups at the Konjeihi Women's Enterprise Centre in Wa, Ghana.

You’ve heard of it. Maybe you use it and work with it.

But, do you know the story? How it is made? The women, children, families and communities that make it (and depend on it). How they live.

This video introduces an ongoing series that Wayne Dunn of Baraka Shea Butter is putting together to help people learn about shea butter and the amazing women that make it. If you want fancy, state of the art editing and effects, this isn’t a good series for you.

If you want information, stories, videos and pictures gathered over decades of community work, development and working in Shea Butter you will probably find it interesting
