The charcoal business is not a sustainable one. It's a business that leads to extinction of a species. A species that has the power to transform lives; especially those of the rural women and their families.

Join hands with SAVE THE SHEA NUT FOUNDATION .

If elephants, Buffalos, Rhinos and others are protected by use of arms in Uganda,why isn't Shea trees given the same protection?
Shea trees are being cut down wantonly for charcoal despite its highly valued nuts and products from the nuts.

SAVE THE SHEA NUT FOUNDATION does this through organizing community dialogues, raising Shea seedlings, organizing the Shea nut gathering women in to groups to make their business stronger

Shea trees are vital for women in West Africa, providing income through shea butter production. But widespread deforestation for charcoal is destroying these trees.

In Uganda, @GerimaMustafa is fighting back—training women, planting trees, and saving a legacy.
