Bespoke shoe making under way for APA

Mr Tesfaye, returns to Soddo to train the first shoe making recruits for APA. The 20 students, some patients from the 6 new clinic sites set up by APA this year undertake a 40 day training programme in bespoke shoe making. They will initially make shoes at the APA Soddo shoe workshop but then return to set up small scale workshops in their own localities.

“I had never visited a clinic site before when I trained the MFPTA shoe makers. Meeting the patients has really moved me and I will go back home and work out what more I can do to help” Mr Tesfaye, Feb 2013
