Ayisha Fuseini is a Ghanaian social entrepreneur. Fuseini is the founder and CEO of a company called Asheba Enterprise, registered in 2013 in Ghana,[1][2] working with over 600 women in rural communities in Tamale; Northern region.[3][4][5] She established a processing center that reduces the workload of the women she works with. Her enterprise also provides financial services to support women in the Shea business.[6][7][8][3][4] Her company produces beauty products such as soap, body creams and other products using high quality shea butter. She is also a supplier of shea butter to The Body Shop chain.[9][7]
As part of her venture into entrepreneurship, she joined the CAMFED Association of Young Women Leaders. This opened many opportunities, including training her to be a peer educator. Using the knowledge she gained during the program, she organized and trained 70 women to gather and process shea nuts into butter.[10] She trains women groups on improved production methods that fetch high prices for higher quality butter.[11]
