Income Allocation
One of our core beliefs is to give back to the
communities from which we obtain our resources in order to build
African self empowerment.
See our current school projects funded by shea butter
sales.
We are determined to fulfill the following objectives:
1. Donate 10% of our income to AIDS, Onchocerciasis
(River Blindness), and Malaria research. Agbanga Karite is a life
member of Africare,
a leading non-profit organization specializing in aid to Africa,
including HIV/AIDS.
2. Donate 10% to fund scholarships for local students
who are interested in studying African philosophy, history and colonization
legacies, geography, sustainable agricultural development, environment
and ecology, tropical biology, traditional medicines, foundations
of traditional African education, and African societies, languages
and arts. At least 50% of these scholarships will be given to women.

projects.
3. In addition, 10% of our income will go to alternative
energy and ecological awareness programs, including converting diesel
engines to use vegetable oils, biogas production for cooking, and
solar energy development. As our organization becomes established,
we will allocate a greater percentage of funds to social and economic
development of our communities.
