[CALL TO ACTION] Support Women's Initiative to Empower through Shea Production in Ghana-gctid260031

[Kala Kambon]

Who:

One Buuri is a Ghana based organization centered around supporting grassroots community efforts for communities in need, mainly in the Northern Region of Ghana. Lead by @Alemna , (Charles Alemna) this organization has helped hundreds of men, women, and children who are currently unemployed or unable to attend school, to be empowered through local business development initiatives, such as: shea and dawadawa (carob) processing, basket and cloth weaving, and beading.

Their more current work involves helping the women in a community located in Kassina Nakani, West district in the Upper East Region of Ghana, to begin training in shea production. This would help to financially support hundreds of families and encourage the use of natural resources for the benefit of the community, rather than foreign entities. 

What:

One Buuri is currently in need of training equipment to help assist in courses in shea production to the women in the community. The cost would be $50 for a PA system, and $150 for a projector needed to conduct the classes. The total request is a donation of $200usd. This is not a huge amount, Let's make this happen! With our help we can assist One Buuri in getting the jump start they need to further support this community business development initiative.

If anyone can donate these items that would also be appreciated.
