We support a moringa farming community in Ghana through our purchase of their high quality moringa powder. We have also donated money towards the purchase of safety gear, nose masks & gloves. The rest of the money raised will also go towards improving the safety of the farm.
Part of the money is also used as a micro credit programme [0% interest rate] to hire labour for the workers to enable them generate more income.
