Who are the faces behind Corda? Meet Lindsie, Dustin, and our partner, Sheme. Our passion for helping people in a sustainable way has driven us to start a socially responsible business from the ground up. After hearing how Dustin wanted to help people in Ethiopia, Sheme, who Dustin met on a bus in Addis Ababa, quit his job and offered his parents living room for the workshop to get the project started. Nearly 3 years later, Corda has an additional 8 employees in Ethiopia and has provided comfortable socially-good rope sandals all over the world.
