Sommalife, now operating as Vitara, is a social enterprise that leverages digital technology to connect female smallholder farmers in northern Ghana to global markets, particularly within the shea value chain. Through its proprietary software, TreeSyt, the company provides traceability, fair-trade access, and mobile payment solutions that help women shea producers earn fair compensation and build more secure livelihoods. Supporting over 90,000 farmers, Vitara also drives environmental conversation by protecting shea parklands from deforestation and charcoal production while promoting financial literacy and sustainable land stewardship. Its work advances gender equality, climate action, and biodiversity protection, positioning the company as a strong catalyst for inclusive rural development. Following disbursement in 2024, Wangara actively supported the company’s regional scaling and capacity-building efforts under the Ethics First Initiative. Having successfully achieved key growth milestones and helped fortify the company’s market positioning, we executed a strategic exit from the company in 2025.
