Women's Empowerment

The Baobab Learning Center is doing a number of activities to help improve the lives of rural women. They are:

​

• learning community organization skills in their villages.

​

• contributing to the functioning of the BLC such as providing food,  condiments and wood for cooking.

​

• for the shea butter program, learning business management skills,  new skills for modern shea nut processing, and grain milling

• improving incomes and learning household management

​

To preserve the environment,  women are learning about shea tree protection and conservation.  This is key to maintain shea trees for future income generation with shea butter.
