We are a close-knit group of friends and family living between the USA and Ethiopia, brought together by a shared belief: access to opportunity and capital has the power to uplift lives and transform communities.

Born from purpose and compassion, this belief inspired us to build something meaningful — Beteseb Microfinance. In Amharic, Beteseb means “family” — and that’s exactly what we aim to be.

We’re not here just to lend money. We exist to fulfill dreams, empower the underserved, and walk hand-in-hand with our community on the journey ahead. Beteseb isn’t a distant institution — it’s personal, it’s near, it’s family.

Across Ethiopia, thousands of gifted individuals — youth, women, farmers, and small business owners — have the potential to thrive. All they need is a fair and accessible financial partner who believes in them. Beteseb is here for them.

This is what we’re about.
Man Ende Beteseb — Because We Are Family.

After months of planning and preparation, we’re just getting started. With the support of partners and friends like you, we’re moving forward to empower families, grow businesses, and build thriving communities.

Welcome to the family.

Welcome to Beteseb.
