Kidus Tadesse Ayele

Local shoemaking and baking

  • 🇪🇹 Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia
  • The Frangipani Shop
  • 1996 to 2004
  • English, Amharic
I've worked in shoemaking from 1996 to 2004. I learned from my father and passed what I could on to 340 apprentices. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 20 years later for another job. Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.

What gifts mean to Kidus: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
