The Gulit Project is a research and development initiative focusing on urban resilience through food preservation strategies in the markets of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Working side-by-side with local citizens, market vendors and sustainability organizations, our goal is implement new methods in clay based construction to showcase the importance in food security and to help reduce food waste across the city.

Nicholas was in Ethiopia for a few weeks in March and visited our local partners as well as other workshops. During his time in Addis Ababa, the team worked on new prototypes, visited all the markets stakeholders as well held community events in Agoza and Gerji Market.
