Fair Trade Shea Butter—A Key to Gender Equality & Poverty Alleviation

Come to this free lecture and learn about Fair Trade Shea Butter with the founder of Alaffia Sustainable Skincare: Olowo-n’djo Tchala. Alaffia builds community empowerment through the fair trade of indigenous handcrafted Shea Butter and skin care products. In the words of Tchala – “Today, Africa is considered the poorest continent on Earth. Because I grew up in poverty in Africa, I feel morally responsible to dedicate my life to empowering communities there. I have chosen to promote indigenous African natural resources that are culturally, spiritually, economically and ecologically sustainable.”
