Aus den Fasern dieses Baumes (rechts) flechten Afar-Frauen kunstfertig lange Matten, die ihre transportfähigen Häuser bedecken. Viele fertigen sie nur für den Eigenbedarf an, doch stellt der Verkauf auch eine mögliche Einkommensquelle dar.

Microcredits to boost income

Due to recurring and intensifying droughts, around 1,200 households in Erebti (Afar region) have lost their livelihoods. Many families who used to own herds of animals now have few or no animals. The result is poverty and hunger. We support families with microcredits and guide them on how to make a living.
