In Nigeria 70% of the population live below the poverty line. Many are so desperate for a better life that they get tricked into being trafficked by the promise of a job. The Sheffield team worked with 10 women in a community vulnerable to human trafficking to set up a shea butter business using natural resources that are usually left to rot. They showed the women how to produce a high quality product and provided them with the business management skills needed to run a successful enterprise. The women now have a stable income.
