Formed in 2004 and registered as a charity organization in 2008, SAVE-Ghana as a nongovernmental organization (NGO) has been much involved in the areas of education,health, agriculture business, good governance, gender and advocacy.
We need some financial support to be able to support poor rural women to produce Shea butter which will benefit their economic life. Processing equipments will also help these women greatly.
