From Unemployment to Entrepreneurship

Aweke Sileshi, a 27‑year‑old father of three from Kotu Kebele, has turned struggle into opportunity. Once discouraged and skeptical about poultry farming, he has discovered new hope through the ORDA Ethiopia and UNICEF Denmark project. With training, support, and determination, he has transformed 50 chickens into a thriving business—and inspired others to follow his path. His journey proves that hard work and the right support have created lasting change for his family and community. Grateful to #UNICEF Denmark for the support.
