1 review of Awra Amba Village

Awra Amba Village

Amba Awra community is situated on the road from Gondar to Lalibela. It a special type of community because it is a commune, there is no private property, everything belongs to everyone, everyone takes care of everyone and all the money that they get from the few tourists who visit and from selling woollen garments is for the benefit of the community. The Ethiopian state has allowed the experiment and if it works plans to take it to other parts of Ethiopia. It is governed by its founder and is like a utopia but in this country it seems to work, of course this would be unthinkable in the West.
