We have expanded our vision to include the rich variety of products coming from all parts of the African continent. These include oils and butters that can be used for natural and organic skincare; Essential oils for Aromatherapy and herbs and spices for cooking. Shea Radiance is dedicated to providing you with the best that Africa has to offer.</subtitle>

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><blockquote>In the Economist:Extending mobile money to other poor countries, particularly in Africa and Asia, would have a huge impact. It is a faster, cheaper and safer way to transfer money than the alternatives, such as slow, costly transfers via banks and post offices, or handing an envelope of cash to a bus driver. Rather than spend a day traveling by bus to the nearest bank, recipients in rural areas can spend their time doing more productive things. The incomes of Kenyan households using M-PESA have increased by 5-30% since they started mobile banking, according to a recent study.More here via Next Big Futurephoto courtesy of the Economist</blockquote>
