Building a Kinder World for Every Child
Since 2019, the Deborah Foundation has served as a beacon of hope in Ethiopia. Founded by H.E. Ato Abadula Gemeda and inspired by his daughter, Deborah, we are dedicated to fostering a kinder, more inclusive future. By focusing on healthcare, inclusive education, and policy advocacy, we strengthen the vital support systems families rely on. Our mission is to ensure every child with Down syndrome is valued, protected, and never left behind.
