Entoto Beth Artisan (EBA) is a FAIRTRADE Ethiopian social business established in 2012 as a jeweler manufacturer dedicated to restoring the lives of women community with HIV/AIDS living on Entoto Mountain by training and providing fair-wage employment to lead their livelihoods. Most people come to Entoto St. Mary’s Church on the mountain, seeking healing from their disease through fasting, praying and bathing in the holy water near the church.

 Of the 2,500 people, most have come from outside of Addis Ababa looking for healing from the holy water. Many left their relatives and everything that they knew either because they wanted a chance to be healed, their family did not want them anymore after they found out they had HIV, or they wanted to leave the harsh stigma of HIV and find solace in a community of people who share the disease.
