Addis Ababa

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – 2014. During the Habitat for Humanity build time in Addis Ababa we spent most of our time in the slum area in the old town centre (Piazza) area were we were working but we did travel through a lot of other areas as well. These photos represent only a small part of what can be seen in Addis as it is a very large densely populated city.
