Celebrating Eid/Sallah - Breaking the Fast with Chief

I try every year to be in northern Ghana at the end of Ramadan, and in this video I break the fast with the Chief, sharing traditional food in a centuries old ritual. Baraka's shea butter is made by hand in that region at the Konjeihi Women's Enterprise Centre in Wa. I enjoy the love, joy and celebration that permeates this special time, and we always try to have special treats for the children.

EID/Sallah, the feast after Ramada is a special time throughout the Islamic world.  In 2020, EID took place over the weekend of May 23-24.  Because of Covid, celebrations were different that year, but the love, sharing and hospitality were the same.  I was disappointed not to be in Ghana to celebrate that year.

What we hope you take away from this post more than anything is that you impact women, families and communities when you buy shea butter and that it is important to know the source of your shea butter.

It is so easy to have ‘raw and unrefined’ shea butter that was industrially processed, chemically extracted and all the income and impact ripped from the women and given to the factory. See more in this blog https://barakasheabutter.com/sheabutter_blog/unrefined-and-raw-shea-butter/

All Baraka products are harvested and hand processed by women in rural Ghanaian villages using age-old traditions and techniques. It is core to traditional life and to their economic well-being.

You make a difference with every purchase from Baraka, or from people who make products with Baraka Shea Butter.

It has a direct impact on hard-working women and their families.
