LAFISSA MAMMAN, Shea butter supervisor, Togo, West Africa
Lafissa Mamman is a skilled story teller and one of the oldest members
of the shea butter production cooperative that we work with. She is the
supervisor for the crystallization process, which is one of the most
critical steps in making unrefined shea butter so creamy. Lafissa has
made and sold shea butter in local markets for over 40 years and is a
genuine shea butter expert. By providing a market for shea butter in
North America, your purchases help Lafissa and her colleagues develop
financial independence and secure livelihoods, while supporting and
developing the strength of their community.
