They will do tremendously well with Traders training, life skills training as well as business and entrepreneurship skills.

Jewelry stores in Addis Ababa Ethiopia 2003
Jewelry stores in Addis Ababa Ethiopia
In the Jewelry store they served us refreshing spring natural mineral water called Amboha አምቦ ዉሐ and Fanta ፋንታ , It was good.
While we were shopping at the Jewelry store in Addis Ababa we found out the design is more than a craft store; It provides a traditional cultural shopping experience with contemporary, creative designs. Every piece holds an Ethiopian story, weaving together the people who make the crafts with the tradition of silver and Gold design, the religious significance of each regional cross is the art of work.
Getu - from Gondar to Ra'anana
Getu Zemene was the leader of thousands of men, women and children in Ethiopia. Getu spent more than a decade being almost solely responsible for the lives of some 10,000 people, supervising a staff of over 150, keeping order,dealing with crises, settling disputes, working with aid organisations and the Ethiopian government, building and running a large elementary school, establishing programs in adult education and employment, building a synagogue and running Passover Seders for 6,000 people.
Weaving Threads of Peace
More than 15,000 women make their living collecting fuel wood on Mount Entoto and selling it in the markets of Addis Ababa. Thanks to Connected in Hope foundation one year ago some of these women started to made handmade products like scarfs and baskets.
AIESEC Ethiopia wants to develop these women and their work selling the scarfs all over the world. The 50% of income from each scarf will support directly those women, while the other 50% will be used to create a fund to educate their children who cannot access public school since their mothers cannot afford it.
AIESEC will provide international volunteers who will educate these children and will engage them in activities to develop their creativity and potential.
Buy a scarf and come to Ethiopia as volunteer to be the change you want to see in the world!

Bringing Back Dignity: The Story of Tihun Ingedaw
This is the first of three videos that tell the stories of Tihun, Yeserash, and Abebu -- three young women from Ethiopia who have survived obstetric fistula. The women and their family members give insight into the difficulties of life with fistula, the joys of being repaired, and the lessons learned from their experiences. These videos are excerpts from the film Bringing Back Dignity, produced under the ACQUIRE project funded by USAID.
Despite the double tragedy of losing her baby and developing a fistula, Tihun has been blessed with a supportive husband who did not leave her when she was ill. Her husband Aweke explains that everyone urged him to leave his wife with beliefs that he would contract her condition, but he would not do so. Both Tihun and Aweke have learned valuable lessons from Tihun's fistula. Aweke regrets not being careful to use protection that would prevent an early pregnancy. Tihun vows that if she ever has a daughter she will not marry her off, and instead will let her go to school and then choose her own husband.
The other two videos are also available on YouTube:

The ACQUIRE Project (Access, Quality, and Use in Reproductive Health) advanced and supported the availability, quality, and use of facility-based reproductive health and family planning services at every level of the health care system, and strengthened links between facilities and communities. EngenderHealth was the managing partner. For more information about EngenderHealth, please visit
Further work on obstetric fistula is being done by the Fistula Care Project, also funded by USAID and managed by EngenderHealth. Fistula Care works to address the enormous backlog of women awaiting life-altering fistula repair, ensuring that they receive timely and quality care from trained providers. At the same time, the project works to remove barriers to emergency obstetric care that lead to fistula in the first place. For more information, please visit
