  There is a big difference in the tone of color of skin between dark and light
skinned people. Despite this fact, most face recognition tasks almost all
classical state-of-the-art models are trained on datasets containing an
overwhelming majority of light skinned face images. It is tedious to collect a
huge amount of data for dark skinned faces and train a model from scratch. In
this paper, we apply transfer learning on VGGFace to check how it works on
recognising dark skinned mainly Ethiopian faces. The dataset is of low quality
and low resource. Our experimental results show above 95\% accuracy which
indicates that transfer learning in such settings works.
