This week’s script provides more insight into the work of women who process shea nuts. It talks about The Fakocouru Women’s Binkadi Association in Mali, a group of 850 women who make shea butter. The labour-intensive process of producing shea butter provides the women with income and a useful product for their homes. The script also explains how, by making use of shea nuts, the association helps to preserve the shea trees and thereby fight desertification. You can find the full script below or read it online at:
