As part of a long-standing cooperation, Krones Ethiopia donated electro-mechanical tools worth
10,000 euros to support the Menschen für Menschen (MfM) in Ethiopia.
The donated items will assist the effectiveness of the training programs offered at the MfM Agro- Technical Training College (ATTC) in Harar, Ethiopia. Krones anticipates to continue a long-term collaboration with ATTC, initiating discussions to establish an apprenticeship program in Ethiopia based on the well-established apprenticeship program already run by Krones in Kenya.
The official handover of the donation took place on February 2, 2023, in the presence of Reinhold Jung, Head of Africa and the Middle East, Gary Zeller, Managing Director of Krones East Africa, and other from MfM.
During the event Krones said that it will continue to foster the relationship with the MfM and thereby contribute further to the development of the education and training sector.
