Nestled in the ancient shea nut forests of Pader, Northern Uganda, Yaa Village Home brings you 100% natural, ethically harvested shea nut products — direct from Acholi women's hands to yours. Yaa is the Acholi word for the shea nut, a tree that has sustained generations of people across Northern Uganda for centuries.
Discover Yaa ProductsFor centuries, the shea nut tree — Yaa in Acholi — has been the backbone of Northern Ugandan life. Women harvest, process, and trade shea butter from generation to generation, passing down knowledge as precious as the oil itself.
"Yaa is not just a tree. It is medicine, food, livelihood, and memory — it is our heritage."
