A month ago, we started crowdfunding for 5 projects based in Ethiopia. Within 2 weeks, we raised over $2000. But then, #COVID19 happened. Our donor community is the diaspora. At this time of economic uncertainties, very few can/will donate. We have decided to stop crowdfunding.
Dear all, hope all is well on your side. We have been MIA but we’re back with an update that may interest you if you have a micro or small-scale enterprise in Addis.

Ideas for Ethiopian entrepreneurs,
How hard is it to produce paper cups locally? We have tons of papers being disposed as waste from many offices, maybe recycling these and producing recyclable environmentally friendly cups.
This paper cup for example comes from the UAE. Imagine!
We believe we inspired this company to rebrand themselves as ‘https://t.co/FFDqDlE7Lt’ and create an actual crowdfunding web platform based in Ethiopia.
Good job on finding an Ethiopian Solution 👍
#Ethiopia:#BTNet Technology, a local tech firm, has launched the first-ever crowd-funding in Ethiopia called 'Degafi.' It's designed to help groups,startups, individuals, charities & many other establishments to raise funds online to support their projects https://t.co/t9I68ffN3D
Please support NERD, a brilliant group of young engineers from Ethiopia to further develop their oxygen ventilator against COVID-19. They're using local material to come up with prototypes to then manufacture locally. Watch the great gofundme video below

We hope you understand that our crowdfunding initiative has been impacted by the financial insecurity #COVID19 is causing in diaspora communities.
We will provide an update soon.
