The Addis-Djibouti Railway is about so much more than getting people from A to B—it’s hooking a generation up with their dreams.
Track inspector Lemi found more than a job on this line; he discovered a purpose. Each day, he makes sure the steel paths are safe and sound, setting the stage for smooth journeys. His story shows how this game-changing railway is creating countless job opportunities for Ethiopia’s youth.
International train conductor Simret is another example of the railway’s human impact. She now steers locomotives across borders, connecting Ethiopia to new horizons and inspiring young women to pursue careers on the rails. Simret’s journey proves that with the right opportunity, ambition can travel far.
Together, Lemi and Simret illustrate how infrastructure can empower a nation. By linking landlocked communities to international trade routes, the railway is fueling economic growth and offering young Ethiopians a ticket to prosperity and happiness.
Full speed ahead to a future where every track leads to opportunity and every journey charts a path to success!
