The Founder
Abrahamu Selassie Emmanuel
As the founder of this charitable organization, I’d like to share my personal story. My name is Abrahamu Selassie Emmanuel, and I was born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Currently, I reside in Virginia, USA. A childhood accident rendered my left hand nearly useless, but it also motivated me to make a positive impact. I understand the struggles that disabled children in Ethiopia face, as I’ve experienced similar challenges. I’m dedicated to helping these young individuals and invite you to join me in this endeavor.
