Good businesses grow here.

We’ve spent 25+ years helping Ethiopian entrepreneurs turn problems into working, income-earning enterprises — with consulting, training, HR services, and solar power.

Consulting

Strategy, diagnostics, and value chains for enterprises from first stall to first export.

HR & BPO

Recruitment, payroll, and compliance — so organizations can focus on their real work.

Solar energy

Ketir Solar brings productive power to rural businesses the grid hasn't reached.

Nutrition

Bekidmia — 'first things first' — keeps working people well enough to work.

We work where the economy actually happens.

Markets, workshops, farms, and shops — across every regional state of Ethiopia and six other African countries. With partners like USADF, UN Women, GIZ, ITC, SNV, and the World Bank, thousands of enterprising people have been through our training and advisory work.

Some of our proudest work is the hardest: helping displaced people and failed businesses start again.
