GLOBAL COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT

Through our Fair Trade sourcing and mission partner, we support equal opportunity job development. Alaffia is committed to investing in people for a more sustainable future.

TOGO, AFRICA

Alaffia has empowered thousands of lives in Togo, allowing traditional knowledge to be preserved. There have been hundreds of cooperative members and thousands of women collectors who have supported Alaffia production in the past.

UNREFINED SHEA BUTTER

The women in the Alaffia Village co-op keep West African traditions alive by indigenously crafting our Fair Trade, unrefined, shea butter.

AFRICAN BLACK SOAP

Women co-op members handcraft our Authentic African Black Soap from a centuries-old recipe of unrefined raw shea butter and orangutan-safe West African palm oil. Alaffia's Authentic African collection is likened to the home remedies of Togolese mamans.

WEAVER COLLECTIVIES

We work closely with our sister organization, AYÉYA, to deliver handwoven baskets are from co-ops in West Africa. Each basket is personally signed by the weaver. The weavers receive upfront fair-trade wages. Alaffia’s work in these communities has helped provide potable water for weavers in Sumbrungu Atampure and Shirigu, near Bolgatanga.

Made with Love & Respect.
