Meet Our New Community Co-Lead: Yeabsira Addis!

Great communities are built by people who show up, share ideas, and inspire others to grow and Yeabsira Addis is one of those people!

As an active member of WTM Ethiopia, Yeabsira has contributed to our Event Department, helping amplify our voice, connect members, and create opportunities for others along the way.

Fun fact: “I'm the kind of person who gets excited about a new hobby, buys everything needed for it, and then discovers another hobby.”

For the next six months, Yeabsira will work alongside Ayida as Community Co-Lead, bringing fresh ideas and helping our community grow and thrive.

Welcome to your new role, Yeabsira!

📢📢 Introducing Our Community Lead: Ayida Aman

Ayida has been a proud member of WTM Ethiopia, serving as a lead for our Social Media and Events Department, bringing people together and turning ideas into action.

Through her active involvement in the community, she has leveraged her experience to unlock new opportunities, including Job Opportunities.

Fun fact: “My interests range from software development to photography to content creation to community building... I guess I’ve never been good at having just one passion!”

For the next six months, Ayida will serve as a Community Lead, helping strengthen our community, support new initiatives, and bring our shared vision to life.

We’re excited to see her grow and make an even greater impact in this new chapter.

Welcome to your new role, Ayida!

It all started on January 14, 2025, when Ambassadors Meron Abate and Betel Addisu founded Women Techmakers Ethiopia with one vision: to create a space where women feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow in tech.

The beginnings were humble: virtual sessions and conversations where women shared their journeys in Tech.

But what started with two leaders soon grew into a vibrant community as our Core Team came together. Ribka, Eyerusalem, Ruth, Tsion, Ayida, Eden, Eleanor, Yeabsira, Hildana, Gabriela, and Eden each brought a distinct voice, skill set, and energy, turning a shared vision into tangible momentum.

“The word ‘impossible’ doesn’t exist within WTM,” one teammate often says. Our mentorship sessions proved it: we took bold leaps, sent cold messages, and refused to self-reject. Soon, tech leaders from South Korea, the Arab region, Africa, and the United States joined us, showing how our journeys and aspirations connect beyond borders.

Then came IWD 2026, bringing our vision to life in a space where technology, community, and Ethiopian culture came together.

Since then, we’ve continued to grow through workshops, partnerships, mentorship, campaigns, and hackathons.

And we’re just getting started!

We’re excited to welcome our newly selected Community Leads, creating more opportunities for women to contribute, collaborate, and lead.

If you ask what WTM Ethiopia has truly created, the answer is simple:

A space where a casual idea on a Monday can become a real project weeks later.

A space where you can arrive knowing no one and leave with collaborators, mentors, and friends.

A space where a young woman can see someone building in technology and think, "Maybe I can do that too."

What started as an idea has become a living community, and we are continuing to build it together.
