Asmara, 13 February 2014 – Keih Bahri Tannery extended sports items worth 125,000 Nakfa to local Football Teams in Mai-Temenai and Geza-Banda areas, Asmara.

Speaking during the handing over at Asmara Stadium, Mr. BerhaneAsfaha, owner of the factory, explained that the initiative has been taken in line with the factory’s deep conviction that sports development is highly reliant on communal and individual input. He further called for further collaboration on the part of communities and entrepreneurs to this end.
