Shea butter is a natural moisturiser made from the nut of the shea tree 

When a group of women asked the Women's Development Agency in Tamale, in Northern Ghana, for help in setting up their own business, they were each loaned about £26 from Comic Relief funds.

The pooled their resources to form a shea butter co-operative. Within two years they had paid back their loan and are looking to expand.

Katy Hickman visits the co-operative to find out how shea butter is made.
