The tabia centre is Addi Qeshofo village, located approximately 15 km to the southeast of the woreda town Hagere Selam (as the crow flies).

There are many traditional surface water harvesting ponds, particularly in places without permanent springs, called rahaya; they continue to be maintained and expanded.

Besides effects on biodiversity,[7][8][9] water infiltration, protection from flooding, sediment deposition,[10] carbon sequestration,[11] people commonly have economic benefits from these exclosures through grass harvesting, beekeeping and other non-timber forest products.

[17] The following exclosures are managed by the Ethiotrees project in Amanit municipality:[18] The population lives essentially from crop farming, supplemented with off-season work in nearby towns.

[20] The tabia centre Addi Qeshofo holds a few administrative offices, a health post, a primary school, and some small shops.

A rural access road links most villages to Togogwa in Debre Nazret, where there is public transport to Mekelle and Hagere Selam.

Rooms are for rent in the nearby Togogwa (Debre Nazret), a place that hosts pilgrims on their way to the Dabba Hadera monastery.
