Supporting business women in Adigrat

There is a beautiful new shopping centre in the eastern part of Adigrat that supports female entrepreneurs.  It was built by a charity that offers business training to women in the Adigrat area.   Top graduates from the program are offered a subsidized store place in the Green Park Mall shopping centre

Buying tasty shiro at the Green Park Mall, a new shopping centre in Adigrat, Ethiopia.


You can find honey, crafts, an internet cafe, a general store, a tailor - many little stores at the Green Park Mall.


There are beautiful flowers and green grass on the grounds of the mall here that really make it feel like a little oasis.


 
The only thing that struck me as a little odd about this place is that everything is written in english and english only.  While tourists and other foreigners may find this to be a bit of a relief.  It may not seem particularly welcoming to all the community members who surround the space.
