Description
Just Shea is a social business division of One Village Planet-Women’s Development Initiative 501c3 and is committed to improving the health, safety, and economy of rural women in the developing world through better working conditions, sustainable agriculture, and improved market strategy. Our replicable, scalable, village-up approach is centered on the belief that solutions to the problems of access must be self-sustaining in order to succeed. And we believe that increasing the income generating capacity for impoverished rural women is the most direct way to improve their lives, and those of their children, families and communities.
Targeting groups of rural women in our current focus areas of Haiti and Ghana, One Village Planet-Women’s Development Initiative provides assistance with collective leverage, land access and agricultural inputs, better infrastructure, tools and safety gear, and improved market position.
