She dipped into her savings and booked a flight to Ghana to learn more about shea butter products. “My Ghanaian friend showed me designs that were different from what is locally available, so I added fabric to the shea butter products,” Vutale said. “I met a Ghanaian just before I lost my job who told me about shea butter soap and body oil used in Ghana to treat eczema. He encouraged me to consider selling the products locally while I looked for another job,” said Vutale. Eager to find a way to pay her bills, she did some online research on the benefits of shea butter, and ordered a batch of the soap, body oil and hair oil her Ghanaian friend had told her about.
