About this listen

Ojok Okello is a man on a mission. Having been a development expert for over 15 years, he embarked on an impossible mission - to turn a rural village on the bend of ruin for a long-standing war in Northern Uganda into Africa’s first sustainable city.


Okere City as it is known is built on what he calls “Uganda’s only niche product” shea butter from shea trees. This “tree of life” has been in the life of Okere's ancestors for time millenia serving a wide array of purposes. Ojok is not about to let it die down on his watch.
