Getting paid internationally has been a major challenge for me as a photographer in Ethiopia. That’s why I’m excited about Destta Pay a legal, practical way for creatives to receive, hold, and use foreign currency. 💳 desttapay.com

🇪🇹 💧 #Ethiopia #GERD: The reservoir formed by the construction of the dams has a linear length of 172 kilometers and a capacity of 74 billion cubic meters of water. Filling the reservoir took years, following a controlled accumulation rate of 10 to 15 billion cubic meters of water per season.

Today I documented the inauguration of the Ethiopian Grand Renaissance Dam — Africa’s largest hydroelectric project. Built with immense sacrifice, it will double Ethiopia’s power, create jobs, support farming, and generate $1B+ in regional energy exports. 🇪🇹

True bravery is found in those who face the unknown with unwavering resolve. Soldiers walk into the fire of sacrifice, not for glory, but for the love of their country and the protection of those they may never meet. 4th Memorial of ENDF Northern Command Attack.
