Liya Ruth Abate

Weaving for 45 years in Addis Ababa

  • 🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
  • Addis Ababa Repairs
  • Since 1981
  • English, Amharic
I've worked in weaving since 1981. I learned from my father and passed what I could on to 1,670 apprentices. Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I never rush a conversation. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.
