ተኪ l Teki
We are ተኪ Teki, the world's first paper bag company led by the deaf. We fight against the pollution of plastic bags with Ethiopian sign language. Our dream is to convince the Ethiopian government to reserve the paper bag industry to create jobs for young people with disabilities.
Life is difficult for young people with disabilities in Ethiopia, and job opportunities are few. This lack of adapted work leads to social exclusion and shame. At Teki, we create lasting change in the lives of young deaf women with meaningful work and social interactions while fighting against plastic pollution.
IMPACT
STOP
Around the world and Here in Ethiopia, no one likes plastic bags. But every time we buy something, we always get at least one. This needs to stop. Together we build a plastic bag-free Ethiopia for our children.
SDGs
At ተኪ Teki, we are proud to be an SDG champion by tackling 9 of the 17 sustainable development goals and participating to make Ethiopia more inclusive and plastic bag-free.
