Gojo Bet

"Gojo Bet" or Rural House
It is very common to find these types of houses in rural Ethiopia. Yegetare Sewatch or rural people will choose a tree with a straight trunck and cut off all its branches. Then, they will use the trunck as a central pilar to build their house arround it. Cows, donkeys and sheep are the common animals found in any gojo bet. They will burn charcoal to heat their homes during winter.
