The Shayamba Kebele community has successfully implemented the “Eco-Solutions for Livelihoods” project, creating sustainable income opportunities while promoting environmental stewardship. The project established small production units for recycled paper products, mosquito-repellent candles, and eco-friendly soaps, reducing waste and improving community health.
With a total budget of 350,600 ETB—partly contributed by the community in resources and the remainder covered by CorpsAfrica/Ethiopia—the initiative directly benefits 21 households and indirectly supports 102 individuals. Youth and women received hands-on training, equipping them with practical skills to generate income while fostering a cleaner, greener environment.
This project was facilitated by Abdurahman Jemal, in partnership with the Shayamba Kebele community, local authorities, and CorpsAfrica/Ethiopia.
