Our community programme across Nigeria's shea belt, and the work behind it.
About the Initiative
The Shea Value Initiative is the social impact arm of OYINVEE GLOBAL LIMITED. It is being established to empower women, youth and rural communities while strengthening sustainable livelihoods throughout Nigeria's shea value chain.
Through strategic partnerships and community-driven programmes, the initiative will complement OYINVEE's commercial activities by investing in people, skills and environmental sustainability.

Programme Work
OngoingPractical training in washing, roasting, grinding and hygienic handling, so producer groups can consistently hit Grade A quality rather than reaching it by chance.
OngoingShared processing equipment placed with cooperative groups, reducing the physical burden of hand processing and improving batch consistency.
OngoingConnecting producer groups directly to buyers, so a good harvest translates into income rather than unsold stock.
PlannedBringing younger participants into processing and logistics roles, so the knowledge does not stop with the current generation.
