π± EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF ENTREPRENEURS IN ETHIOPIA!
In the conflict-affected Amhara region, limited economic opportunities make it difficult for young people to build sustainable livelihoods.
Through WAP II, Mercy Hands Europe and Agri Service Ethiopia (ASE), in collaboration with the local Technical and Job Creation Office, organised a three-day entrepreneurship training for 50 unemployed young people, including 21 women.
Participants explored local value chains, small business development, entrepreneurship, financial management and record keeping, gaining essential knowledge to identify opportunities and develop future income-generating activities.
π Beyond training, WAP II aims to strengthen youth economic independence, promote entrepreneurship and build more resilient communities.
We are grateful to our implementing partner Agri Service Ethiopia and for the valuable contributions of @ville_de_geneve , @collonge.bellerive , Commune de VandΕuvres, Commune de ChΓͺne-Bourg and @villedelancy_officiel , which are helping make this work possible. π

A New Chapter for Sustainable Agriculture in Ethiopia: Our Banana Value Chain Project Is Taking Shape! ππ±
We are excited to announce the successful kick-off meeting of our Sustainable Fruit Production: Development of the Banana Value Chain project, implemented in partnership with Agri Service Ethiopia (ASE) in Dassenech, southern Ethiopia.
In a region facing recurrent droughts, food insecurity and limited economic opportunities, this initiative aims to strengthen climate resilience and create sustainable livelihoods through banana production.
π± By improving irrigation, supporting sustainable farming practices, developing local nurseries and strengthening market access, we aim to empower local farmers, particularly women and young people, to build more resilient and economically independent communities.
The kick-off meeting marked an important first step in coordinating our efforts and turning this vision into action.
π We warmly thank Coromandel Foundation and @kantonbaselstadt , whose generous contributions have made the launch of this programme possible.

πΏ From diesel generators to solar-powered irrigation. βοΈ
For Omar al-Hussein, an olive farmer in Qabasin, solar energy is changing the way water reaches his trees.
π§ Around 10 hours of irrigation every day
π³ Approximately 200β250 olive trees watered daily
βοΈ Less dependence on diesel, oil and costly generator repairs
π± A cleaner and more sustainable solution
For local farmers, solar energy is not only about electricity, it means reducing costs, securing irrigation and supporting their livelihoods.
A heartfelt thank you to @iaco_sy and @eafoundationuk for supporting this project and helping bring sustainable energy solutions to local farming communities.
