Alaffia was founded to alleviate poverty and advance gender equality in West Africa through the fair trade of handcrafted shea butter. Alaffia's mission embodies three clear principles:

Create - Alaffia formulates and creates their products based on indigenous beauty knowledge and fair trade ingredients.

Inform - Alaffia's products inform the public about the interconnections between communities and how, together, they can alleviate poverty through fair trade and sustainable choices.

Empower - Alaffia's fair trade shea butter cooperative and community projects encourage self empowerment and gender equality for women in their West African communities.

Alaffia Believes Fair Trade requires a solid commitment to their communities. Alaffia returns at least 10% of all sales to fund community empowerment projects in West Africa. Their ongoing projects include:

Bicycles for Education: Since 2005, Alaffia has collected and sent over 3,000 used bicycles to disadvantaged students in Togo so they can get to and from school.

Maternal Health: Each year, Alaffia provides pre and post natal care to 70 women in central Togo to help reduce high maternal death rates in West Africa

School Supplies & Repairs: Alaffia donates metal roofs, seats, and school supplies to schools in rural Togo to help communities educate their youth.
