Welcome to Kenna for Kids with Disabilities
At Kenna, we believe that every child is a gift, deserving of dignity, love, and limitless opportunity. Founded by a mother’s unwavering hope, we are a grassroots nonprofit transforming how disability is seen and supported in Ethiopia.
Through inclusive education, assistive devices, family empowerment, and holistic care, we are building a future where children with disabilities are not hidden or overlooked but celebrated, supported, and empowered to thrive.
From grassroots advocacy to our model Disability Centers, everything we do is rooted in compassion, respect, and the belief that true inclusion begins with visibility, dignity, and shared responsibility.
Join us in reshaping the narrative, because when children with disabilities thrive, so do their families, their communities, and our society
