02.01.01 Ma startup contribue à l'objectif 'Pas de pauvreté'

7 - tout à fait d'accord

02.01.02 Justification de la contribution de ma startup

by producing our own clothing, we not only reclaim our cultural identity but also generate economic prosperity. Instead of relying on imported Western used clothing, our project enables Ethiopia to become self-sufficient in the fashion industry. We create a demand for locally made garments, both domestically and internationally, which in turn boosts the economy and reduces reliance on external markets. This shift towards self-sustainability contributes significantly to poverty reduction by creating a steady income stream for individuals and bolstering the overall wealth of the country. Ultimately, our efforts empower Ethiopians to take control of their economic future and build a more prosperous nation.

Our project contributes to the goal of zero hunger by stimulating economic growth, which in turn increases food security and access to nutritious meals. By exporting our locally made garments and earning foreign currency, we bolster Ethiopia's economy, leading to overall economic stability and prosperity. As the economy strengthens, the cost of living decreases, making essential goods, including food, more affordable and accessible for all segments of society, particularly the lower class. This increased affordability helps alleviate hunger and ensures that individuals and families have access to an adequate and nutritious diet. Additionally, our focus on creating job opportunities, especially for women, further enhances household incomes, enabling families to afford nutritious food and break the cycle of hunger and poverty. In summary, our project's economic impact directly contributes to achieving zero hunger by improving food accessibility and affordability for all Ethiopians.
