Fun Facts

At Sorugu, shea butter is more than just a product—it’s a symbol of pride, tradition, and sisterhood. Most women walk just 5–7 minutes from home to the centre, continuing a craft passed down from their mothers.

Being part of the cooperative brings them not only income but also respect and strong bonds—when someone is absent, others check in to ensure she’s okay. This is more than work—it’s community.
