Linda Nsobila and her mission to show the place of young people in the shea industry
In the Bongo Balungo community of the Upper East Region of Ghana, Linda Nsobila, a 23 year old high school graduate, is the Secretary of the Pogesi Maltaaba Shea Co-operative, a collective of 812 women shea producers.
Five years ago, Linda joined one of the many informal shea groups in her community, when she started collecting and processing shea. In her group, she served as Secretary, supporting the documentation of their activities, especially their Village Savings and Loans Association (VSLA) contributions.
When these smaller groups came together to form a shea co-operative 2 years ago, Linda was once again nominated and elected to be the co-operative Secretary.
