Sarata Fousseni
Sarata began handcrafting shea butter with
her mother when she was a child. For 20 years she has worked
in this craft. Sarata's husband is older, and cannot help
support their four children. Before joining the Agbanga Karite
Group, Sarata was a farmer, but her farms could not give enough
to fill all the needs of her family. Joining Agbanga Karite
has helped her support her children and make repairs to her
home.

Shacran
Kodjo
Shacran operates and maintains the shea nut grinders. He is
from Kaboli, a town on the Benin border where we have a large
shea nut warehouse. Kodjo's experience with shea butter began
when he helped his parents gather shea nuts as a boy. Kodjo
is a certified welder, but was unable to find work that paid
enough to support his family. Now that he works for Agbanga
Karite, he is able to support his wife and 5 year old daughter.
