Heinken handed over the building he built for Ethiopia to the giraffe.

Ethiopia | Heinken Ethiopia demolished and handed over a wooden and mud building, which would have endangered the lives of the residents due to the age of the giraffe.

The building houses five families of 42 families. It also included a mother of six living in a house of less than five square feet [5 sq m].

According to Taza Tarfu, a mother of two, she was sleeping under two beds due to space constraints.

“Now my children are going to get out of bed and put me to bed,” she said.

Heinken handed over 53 standard housing units from Reu to the residents last year.

According to Fikadu Beshah, the company’s external relations manager, Heineken plans to help people in similar situations in Cherkos next year.
