Mariam Chandiru

businesswoman

Mariam Chandiru is a local shea butter producer in the northern town of Koboko, Uganda, who has been significantly affected by the declining population of shea nut trees. Once thriving in her business, she now struggles to maintain her livelihood due to reduced harvests, which have forced her to cut her production in half. Her experiences reflect the broader challenges faced by many in her community as they grapple with the impact of environmental changes on their traditional practices and economic stability.
