About Livara

Livara is a brand of natural and organic cosmetics made using shea butter as the primary raw material and with emphasis on natural African hair and skin. The products are retailed through Livara’s Family Salons located in Kampala and Mbarara – both cities in Uganda; product stores and currently in tier-1 and tier-2 supermarkets and pharmacies.

In order to develop her supply chain, Livara (through her mother company Nyowe Ventures) has obtained a gender-based grant to digitize shea farmers, carryout financial literacy and skills development to 100,000 shea farmers. This also adds value to our core principles which include impacting the communities in which we operate.

We are therefore looking for an exceptional Program Coordinator who will successfully lead us through this project.
