Why I Created Stem to Hair
Dr Davina Stevens · Founder, STEM TO HAIR
Founder & CEO, Farmdrop Nigeria · Sustainable Enterprise & Innovation Advocate
I created Stem to Hair because I believe some of Africa's most interesting business opportunities are hidden in resources we already have around us.
Banana and plantain pseudostems are one example.
Stem to Hair brings together verified banana fibre knowledge, business education and practical guidance to help entrepreneurs explore this emerging industry responsibly.
The goal is not to promise instant wealth.
The goal is to help people understand the opportunity, test it properly and build businesses based on real products, real customers and real numbers.
