Empower Village LLC

Currently, we have a very limited supply of Shea Butter in our warehouse and will not be able to fulfill large orders. We are actively packing the 1000kgs for shipping to the US.

We are only taking orders by email. We will let you know if we have the amount you are requesting on hand. Please contact Sandra at [email protected].

The women of Burkina Faso are our experts. Fairtrade values are of the utmost importance to Empower Village, and thus we pay in excess of fair wages, empowering these women, while we continually seek ways to help empower their villages. In addition, Empower Village is a supporter/contributor to restoring the environment by protecting it and planting trees. Empower Village will put 10% of our revenue to this effort a year to help preserve biodiversity in Burkina Faso by marketing a non-timber forest product and conserving a vital resource: Shea trees.

Empower Village Shea Butter is made with traditional methods by the strong women of Burkina Faso.
