Welcome to KELAL GATEWAY. I created this platform because I was also looking for events I could attend, and I kept running into the same problem.

Friends traveling internationally to Ethiopia would constantly ask me: “What’s there to do?” The answer usually meant calling people, searching Instagram, and piecing together information across multiple places.

So I built KELAL GATEWAY as a central meeting point where event goers and event creators can find each other — clearly, reliably, and in one place.

If you’re looking for events in Ethiopia (including Addis Ababa events), or you’re an organizer who wants to reach the right audience, that’s exactly what we’re building.

Thank you for being here and for helping us grow the community.

We’ve also worked diligently to create a safe platform that protects your identity. Our payment gateway integrations have been approved by INSA (Information Network Security Administration) and we maintain our certification. We support direct payment systems with Telebirr and other payment applications, as well as integrations with banking systems.

I hope you have a wonderful time exploring events, making new friends, and creating memorable experiences. This application is really about uniting all of us together — event goers, event creators, and everyone in between — to build lasting relationships and celebrate what makes our community special.
