Yurilim Shea Butter Processors Cooperative

At Gizaa Gundaa, tradition meets transformation! Many women in the cooperative learned shea butter processing from their mothers—and today, they’ve mastered the craft while passing it on to others.

Thanks to their dedication, members have improved their livelihoods, supported their children through school, and now mentor new members. They even maintain the processing center through collective effort, showing true ownership and pride.

With new equipment boosting productivity and income, Gizaa Gundaa proves that heritage can power progress! The tradition is not only preserved—it is transformed into progress.
