Through the Open Door Employment Program, Adera seeks to provide sustainable employment opportunities for parents.
- Training programs enhance both business and social skills
- Participants are then matched with an external training program in a particular vocation
- Once training is complete, Adera assists in creating a small business or finding employment with a local business in Addis Ababa
- Adera continues to provide both counseling and guidance throughout the employment process to ensure ongoing success
- Our goal is to equip parents to provide for the needs of their families.
Adera develops income-generating activities to build secure incomes for our families.
Our artisans weave baskets and make jewelry that are sold in the United States at various retailers, but our focus has been collegiate markets. We are presently in the TCU bookstore, Vol Shop at the University of Tennessee, the Kimbell Museum gift shop in Fort Worth, Texas, the Fort Worth Zoo, as well as other retail partners.
