Rooted in Ethiopian Flavor- Made by Ethiopian Mothers
Zede is more than a food brand : Zede’s social initiative is dedicated to economically empowering mothers by hiring exclusively mothers and sourcing ingredients and products from mother-led households and businesses whenever possible. Through our sister company, Aspire Pan Africa Consultancy, we also equip mothers with home-based business training and the International Labour Organization Financial Education training to help them build sustainable livelihoods while caring for their families.
