Stepping into a bustling footwear factory in Addis Ababa, you’d never guess it’s been quietly transforming lives for over a decade. 🇪🇹 A Chinese manufacturer here has created 8,000 local jobs since 2012 – that’s enough people to fill a major league soccer stadium! 🏟️

More Than Just Shoes

‘This is just the beginning,’ says one manager, grinning like someone who just found extra fries at the bottom of the bag. 🍟 The company plans to expand across East Africa, betting big on Ethiopia’s BRICS membership and its long-standing partnership with China.

Why This Matters

  • 💼 Skills training for Ethiopian workers
  • 🌱 Sustainable manufacturing practices
  • 🤝 Strengthened China-Africa economic ties

With BRICS nations accounting for 40% of the global population, this factory’s story could be a blueprint for South-South cooperation. 🔨 Who knew sneakers could walk the talk of international development?
