Maleda Crafts

Honored to be at the African Business Forum 2026, held at the historic ECA African Hall! 🏛️

A great opportunity to learn more about the challenges and opportunities African startups face in financing their innovations. Looking forward to networking and sharing experiences with business leaders and financial experts.

Rushed deadlines in the workshop often mean coffee is consumed on the go. But one thing that's never rushed is the positive energy of our craftsman, Ayele Agena.

As one of our original team members, Ayele has been through every high and low with us. No matter how tough the challenge, he meets it with a smile and unwavering dedication. His attitude is contagious and a cornerstone of our workshop's spirit.

Proud to have such resilient and positive people on our team. They are the key to our success.

We had the amazing opportunity to showcase our handmade products at an event organized by Youth Sounding Board Ethiopia. It was such an inspiring experience to connect with so many passionate people who are working hard to make a difference.

We were especially honored to meet H.E. the EU Ambassador to Ethiopia and the incredible Mrs. Meaza Ashenafi, former President of the Federal Supreme Court. Sharing our journey and mission with them was truly a proud moment for us!

Thank you to the organizers for creating this beautiful platform for youth and local businesses like ours. We’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful for the support!
