Founded in 2011, the Global Shea Alliance designs, develops and delivers strategies that drive a competitive and sustainable shea industry worldwide. Through their efforts, they work to:
- Empower African communities; One woman at a time
- Transform the livelihoods of rural African women
- Protect the shea parklands
- Promote the global utilization of shea
Bradford has committed to
buying all of our shea butter through the Global Shea Alliance. The shea communities we support
hand process the shea nuts into shea butter, thereby receiving
more value for the shea nuts they collect. We have also committed to creating
formulations that utilize large amounts of shea butter because of its moisturizing properties and sustainable sourcing. Bradford recently traveled to Ghana with a camera crew to
promote the women shea collectors and their positive impact on the community.
