Project Description
The project, “Improving Livelihoods and Promoting Good Health with Moringa” envisages to promote the cultivation, processing and consumption of Moringa in the Hohoe and Jasikan Districts of Ghana. The project seeks to enhance the quality of life of the people, create employment, increase food production and reduce malnutrition and raise the general standard of living in the communities.
The project seeks to establish a Moringa cottage for processing moringa into various products like leaf powder, oil and seed cake for local consumption and export. The communities shall also be enlightened on scientifically supported discoveries about Moringa in order to harmonize traditional habits of using Moringa with new ways of maximizing derivable benefits from the Miracle tree- Moringa.
Project Aim: Shape Lives Foundation’s overall project aim is to use Moringa to improve livelihoods and create sustainable employment by stabilizing the cultivation, processing and consumption of Moringa as a self renewable healthy food source to improve the overall standards of living
