After getting married, she tried herself in different activities to support her 5 kids and family. Life led her to join her husband's traditional clothing business, which completely changed her life. After Bridging Gaps workshop,managed by N4ED, she was determined to start a business, making traditional clothing. Mulunesh looks positively at her business idea: «While the traditional cloth-making and weaving industry have been done the same way for a long time, my vision for it is more advanced. To address the concerns of today’s consumers, my strategy is to champion local products by offering superior quality and eco-friendly alternatives at an affordable price point. With better financial support, I believe I can stand on my own, create job opportunities for other women, and make positive changes in people’s lives. » Mulunesh's commitment to authenticity ensures that it’s clothing not only promote cultural identity, but also guarantees environmental sustainability and durability.
