High-end shoe production and sales, supporting workforce development and employee livelihood in Ethiopia


ENZI manufactures high-end footwear in Ethiopia that seeks to challenge global perceptions of Africa through its manufacturing and design.

We have had a great product and story from the start. The path to scaling was a bit vague for me. This program has shown me the clear steps I need to take, and given me the tools to achieve them.
