The #scent, a whisper mild,
Of #frankincense and prayer.
It wraps around my child,
A #blessing in the air.
It fills our little room,
From censer gently swung.
Piercing the morning gloom,
A #hymn without a tongue.
I see my #children kneel,
Their small heads bowed so low.
The ancient truth they feel,
In light the censers throw.
It tells of #angels near,
Of #saints who walked this way.
Dispelling every fear,
At the close of day.
A #father's heart takes flight,
On this ascending fume.
Towards the #uncreated Light,
Beyond earth's transient tomb.

**Expanded Mission Statement**
**To empower Ethiopian self-expression through affordable, culturally inspired apparel that bridges local artistry and global trends.**
### **Key Pillars of the Mission**
1. **Empowering Self-Expression**
- **Cultural Storytelling**: Design T-shirts that celebrate Ethiopia’s diverse heritage, from ancient Aksumite symbols to contemporary Addis Ababa street art, enabling wearers to showcase their identity.
- **Youth-Centric Designs**: Partner with Ethiopian artists, musicians, and influencers to co-create collections that reflect modern Ethiopian creativity (e.g., Afrobeats-inspired graphics, Oromo proverbs in Amharic script).
- **Community Workshops**: Host design competitions and workshops in Addis Ababa schools to engage youth in reimagining traditional motifs for global audiences.
2. **Affordability & Accessibility**
- **Tiered Pricing**: Offer a "Buy One, Gift One" program where premium Cannes line purchases subsidize free T-shirts for underprivileged students.
- **Micro-Retail Partnerships**: Distribute the Everyday Line through kiosks and local vendors in Addis neighborhoods like Mercato and Shiro Meda to ensure rural and low-income access.
3. **Bridging Local & Global**
- **Cannes Film Festival Collaboration**: Use the Cannes platform to position Ethiopian artistry on a global stage, featuring T-shirts in red-carpet gift bags and filmmaker collaborations.
- **Diaspora Engagement**: Launch a "Roots Collection" targeting the Ethiopian diaspora, blending Habesha kemis patterns with minimalist Western cuts.
---
**Expanded Vision Statement**
**To become Ethiopia’s leading lifestyle brand, recognized internationally for quality, innovation, and social impact.**
### **Strategic Pathways to the Vision**
1. **Leading Lifestyle Brand in Ethiopia**
- **Market Dominance**: Capture 30% of Addis Ababa’s casual apparel market within 3 years by leveraging culturally resonant designs and aggressive social media campaigns.
- **Beyond Apparel**: Expand into complementary lifestyle products (e.g., scarves with Shewa region embroidery, coffee-themed accessories) by 2026.
2. **Global Recognition for Quality**
- **Certifications**: Achieve Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification for all cotton by 2025, ensuring ethical production.
- **Craftsmanship**: Partner with Bahir Dar weavers and Hawassa Industrial Park factories to maintain premium stitching and fabric durability rivaling global brands like Uniqlo.
3. **Innovation Hub**
- **Tech-Driven Customization**: Launch an app by 2025 allowing customers to digitally customize T-shirts with AI-generated patterns based on Ethiopian folklore.
- **Sustainable Materials**: Pioneer Africa’s first recycled coffee husk fabric (using Ethiopia’s coffee waste) for limited-edition lines.
4. **Social Impact Leadership**
- **Artisan Empowerment**: Create a profit-sharing model for local artisans, allocating 5% of Cannes line revenue to cooperatives in Lalibela and Harar.
- **Environmental Stewardship**: Plant 10,000 trees annually in the Ethiopian Highlands through partnerships with Farm Africa, offsetting carbon from production.
---
### **Alignment with Global Goals**
- **SDG 8 (Decent Work)**: Generate 500+ jobs for women in textile production by 2027.
- **SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption)**: Achieve 80% circularity (recycling/upcycling) in fabric waste by 2026.
---
### **Measurable Milestones**
| **Metric** | **Target** | **Timeline** |
|---------------------------|-------------------------------------|--------------|
| Local market share | 30% in Addis Ababa | 2027 |
| Artisan partnerships | 50 cooperatives | 2025 |
| Global retail presence | 10+ Cannes pop-ups worldwide | 2026 |
| Carbon neutrality | 100% offset for production | 2030 |
---
### **Why This Vision Matters**
Boaz Trading PLC isn’t just selling T-shirts—it’s reclaiming Ethiopia’s narrative in global fashion. By merging ancestral craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation, the brand will redefine "Made in Ethiopia" as a mark of premium quality and cultural pride, inspiring a new generation of African entrepreneurs.

**Expanded Mission Statement**
*To empower Ethiopian self-expression through affordable, culturally inspired apparel that bridges local artistry and global trends.*
**Core Components:**
1. **Empowerment Through Economic Opportunity**
- Create jobs for Ethiopian artisans, designers, and youth by sourcing 90% of materials locally and partnering with cooperatives in regions like Tigray and Oromia.
- Launch a "Design Ethiopia" apprenticeship program to train 100+ young designers in traditional weaving and modern digital design by 2025.
2. **Cultural Preservation Meets Innovation**
- Embed iconic Ethiopian motifs (e.g., Lalibela cross patterns, Sheba Queen symbolism) into contemporary silhouettes, collaborating with local artists like Addis Gessesse.
- Use storytelling tags on garments to educate global buyers about Ethiopia’s history and craftsmanship.
3. **Affordability Without Compromise**
- Implement a tiered pricing strategy (200–800 ETB) to align with Addis Ababa’s average monthly income (10,000–15,000 ETB).
- Reduce costs through vertical integration: Partner with Hawassa Industrial Park for fabric dyeing and leverage Ethiopia’s duty-free textile machinery imports.
4. **Global Relevance**
- Adapt designs for diaspora markets (e.g., minimalist injera-inspired prints for European buyers) and leverage Cannes Film Festival activations to position Ethiopian culture on a luxury stage.
- Integrate e-commerce tools like augmented reality “virtual try-ons” to appeal to tech-savvy Gen Z shoppers globally.
---
**Expanded Vision Statement**
*To become Ethiopia’s leading lifestyle brand, recognized internationally for quality, innovation, and social impact.*
**Strategic Pillars:**
1. **Leadership in Lifestyle Curation**
- Expand beyond apparel into home décor (scarves with Habesha kemis patterns) and accessories (leather bags hand-tooled in Addis), capturing 30% of Ethiopia’s premium lifestyle market by 2027.
- Host annual “Addis Fashion Week” to showcase Afro-futurist designs, positioning Ethiopia as Africa’s creative capital.
2. **Global Benchmark for Quality**
- Achieve Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification by 2025, using 100% Ethiopian organic cotton and natural dyes from the Rift Valley.
- Implement blockchain traceability for supply chains, allowing customers to track a garment’s journey from farmer to store.
3. **Innovation Rooted in Heritage**
- Partner with Addis Ababa University’s tech hub to develop AI-driven design tools that reinterpret ancient Ethiopian scripts (e.g., Ge’ez) into wearable art.
- Launch Africa’s first “zero-waste” T-shirt line, recycling offcuts into school uniforms for low-income communities.
4. **Social Impact as a Business Imperative**
- Allocate 5% of profits to fund “Sheba Scholarships” for women in textile engineering, targeting 500 beneficiaries by 2030.
- Reduce carbon footprint by 40% through solar-powered production hubs and “buy-back” programs to refurbish old garments.
5. **International Recognition**
- Secure shelf space in 50+ international retailers (e.g., Galeries Lafayette in Paris, Brooklyn Circus in NYC) by 2026.
- Target collaborations with global icons (e.g., collaborating with Beyoncé’s Ivy Park on a “Coffee Ceremony” activewear line inspired by Ethiopian coffee culture).
---
**Alignment with Business Plan**
- **Cannes Activation**: Directly ties to the vision’s global recognition goal, using the festival as a springboard for luxury positioning.
- **Tiered Pricing**: Reflects the mission’s affordability pillar while funding premium lines for international margins.
- **Hawassa Industrial Park Partnerships**: Supports quality and cost efficiency, enabling scalable social impact.
---
This expanded framework transforms generic statements into actionable, culturally rooted strategies that align with Ethiopia’s economic ambitions and Boaz Trading PLC’s operational strengths.

Histórias que se cruzam no adeus ao Papa, o "sacerdote do bairro, das pessoas humildes e simples"
Andrea, Homero e Salvatore: uma argentina que se recorda do sacerdote Bergoglio, um italiano que vive longe de Roma e uma pessoa que vive na rua. São três histórias muito diferentes que hoje se cruzam entre a multidão na Praça de São Pedro. Todos eles se sentiram tocados por Francisco.

### **Expanded Mission Statement**
**"To empower Ethiopian self-expression through affordable, culturally inspired apparel that bridges local artistry and global trends."**
#### **Breakdown & Strategic Alignment**
1. **Empower Ethiopian Self-Expression**
- **Cultural Identity as a Canvas**: Clothing is a powerful medium for storytelling. The brand will collaborate with Ethiopian artists, poets, and youth collectives to co-create designs that reflect contemporary Ethiopian identity—from urban Addis Ababa to rural traditions.
- **Community-Driven Design**: Host annual design competitions (e.g., “Sheba Threads Challenge”) to source ideas from local talent, ensuring the brand remains rooted in grassroots creativity.
2. **Affordability for Accessibility**
- **Tiered Pricing Model**:
- **Local Line**: Priced at 300–800 ETB (≈$5–$14), aligned with Addis Ababa’s median income (10,000–15,000 ETB/month).
- **Subsidized Collections**: Partner with NGOs to distribute low-cost (<200 ETB) T-shirts in rural schools, fostering brand loyalty early.
- **Cost Efficiency**: Leverage Ethiopia’s duty-free access to organic cotton via Hawassa Industrial Park, reducing material costs by 25% compared to imports.
3. **Culturally Inspired Apparel**
- **Ethiopian Motifs Reimagined**:
- **Heritage Patterns**: Incorporate symbols like the *Aksum obelisk*, *Lalibela cross*, and *Oromo beadwork* into modern silhouettes.
- **Narrative Collections**: Release themed lines tied to Ethiopian festivals (e.g., *Timket* baptismal designs, *Meskel* floral prints).
4. **Bridging Local Artistry & Global Trends**
- **Dual-Market Strategy**:
- **Local**: Use Ethiopian models and Amharic slogans in campaigns to resonate domestically.
- **Global**: Partner with diaspora influencers (e.g., Ethiopian-Canadian filmmakers) to position the Cannes line as “Afro-chic” luxury.
---
### **Expanded Vision Statement**
**"To become Ethiopia’s leading lifestyle brand, recognized internationally for quality, innovation, and social impact."**
#### **Breakdown & Strategic Roadmap**
1. **Ethiopia’s Leading Lifestyle Brand**
- **Beyond Apparel**: Expand into complementary categories by Year 3:
- **Home Goods**: Scarves with traditional *shemma* patterns.
- **Accessories**: Leather bags using hides from Addis Ababa tanneries.
- **Market Dominance**: Target 30% share of Addis Ababa’s casualwear market by 2026 through aggressive retail expansion (10 stores) and partnerships with Ethiopian Airlines for in-flight sales.
2. **International Recognition for Quality**
- **Certifications**: Pursue **Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)** and **World Fair Trade Organization** certifications to appeal to conscious consumers in the EU/U.S.
- **Cannes as a Quality Benchmark**: Use the festival’s prestige to validate craftsmanship (e.g., “As seen at Cannes 2024” branding).
3. **Innovation as a Core Driver**
- **Tech-Enhanced Design**: Partner with Addis Ababa University’s tech hub to experiment with:
- **Digital Printing**: Laser-etching traditional *Habesha* patterns onto recycled fabrics.
- **Augmented Reality (AR)**: Scan T-shirts to unlock stories about their cultural origins.
- **Sustainable Materials**: Pilot *enset* (Ethiopian “false banana”) fiber blends for a 100% local, biodegradable fabric line.
4. **Social Impact Integration**
- **Ethical Production**:
- **Living Wage Pledge**: Pay factory workers 20% above Ethiopia’s minimum wage (917 ETB/month).
- **Women Empowerment**: Allocate 50% of production jobs to women, partnering with UN Women Ethiopia.
- **Community Programs**:
- **Artisan Upskilling**: Train 500 rural weavers in digital design tools by 2025.
- **Education Fund**: Donate 5% of Cannes line profits to scholarships for Ethiopian fashion students.
---
### **Alignment with Business Plan**
- **Cannes Activation**: Directly supports the vision’s international recognition goal by showcasing Ethiopian craftsmanship on a global stage.
- **Local Pricing**: Embodies the mission’s affordability pillar while capturing Ethiopia’s growing middle class.
- **Sustainability Partnerships**: Aligns with the vision’s social impact through organic cotton sourcing and eco-friendly practices.
---
### **Key Recommendations**
1. **Launch a “Culture-to-Couture” Campaign**: Document the journey of a traditional weaver from Bahir Dar to Cannes, highlighting the brand’s mission in a mini-documentary.
2. **Develop a “Social Impact Dashboard”**: Track and publicly share metrics like jobs created, artisan training hours, and carbon footprint reduction.
3. **Pilot a “Buy One, Gift One” Model**: For every Cannes line purchase, donate a school uniform T-shirt to a rural Ethiopian child, bridging luxury and social responsibility.
---
By grounding its mission in community empowerment and its vision in scalable innovation, Boaz Trading PLC can transcend being a clothing brand to become a cultural ambassador for Ethiopia—proving that ethical business and profitability are not mutually exclusive.
