Shea Terra Organics is a shining example, because they have culminated a formula for sustainability with their natural beauty blends and and fair trade gourmet. Their strategic business partnerships help to alleviate the increasing threats to Africa’s native inhabitants and indigenous wildlife.

“Our most important goal from the start has always been to support Africa through self-empowerment and environmental programs, and bring awareness about the continent’s diversity and beauty.” said Shea Terra Organics’ founder, Tammie Umbel

It is admirable that for more than a decade Shea Terra Organics has been developing high quality healing products from indigenous African ingredients.“Shea Terra partners with individuals, and cooperatives while working closely with NGOs to ensure that native trades people, farmers and harvesters not only get ‘fair’ prices for their commodities, but that they receive prices that they themselves set.”
