Thank you for supporting oxfam

Your ongoing donation could help more women to grow their businesses – tackling poverty and hunger and fighting for fairer opportunities.

In northern Ghana, women who were once held back by decades of unfair access to training, tools and technology, are now powering up their shea and cocoa businesses, building more stable incomes for themselves and their families.

Climate change has made the ‘lean season’ harsher than ever. When rains stop, crops fail, food runs low, and anxiety rises.

But through Women’s Economic Advancement for Collective Transformation (WEACT), an initiative funded by Oxfam, women are gaining what they need to adapt to every season - and close the inequality gap between men and women.

Safura began producing shea butter as part of a cooperative, joining other women to roast, grind, and churn shea nuts into rich golden butter. When the process was complete, they would package it for sale to the UK.

Safura was proud of her work, but orders were slow – and the wait between each delivery was hard to survive. That all changed with the arrival of WEACT.

Small changes, big difference

After joining the project, Safura soon learned how to package up her products into individual pots, and sell them locally.

Demand grew, and she gained the confidence to expand her offering beyond shea butter, reviving her soap-making skills, expanding her range, and eventually tripling her income.

With a stable, secure income, Safura’s vision continues to grow. She’s determined to support other women to build their own independence too.

Your regular donation could help fuel projects like WEACT, helping Safura and other women to champion more equal and fulfilled lives.
