Furthering the commitment, the young girls are offered an internship with ABKA in Addis Ababa. The young girls not only learn in the classroom, but they are awarded the unique opportunity to join the small staff of ABKA in the Addis Ababa workshop. Young girls learn critical skills that will help them secure employment after they finish school and, most importantly, provide them with confidence to keep moving forward.","brand":"Mercy House Global","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986638827714,"sku":"SL25 Leather Everything Crossbody","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1149\/2930\/files\/e00aa2eb-9de8-462b-b853-295454c397b3.jpg?v=1768250841"},{"product_id":"blue-spice-tin-with-small-tins-spoon","title":"Masala Dabba Spice Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eKeep your favorite flavors close at hand with this handcrafted Masala Dabba Spice Box, a kitchen essential inspired by generations of home cooks in India.
