Raising Awareness, Transforming Lives
Founded in 2017 by Beza Beshah, Hope-SBH was inspired by her personal journey of welcoming a child with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus (SBH). Experiencing firsthand the challenges faced by affected families in Ethiopia, Beza, alongside other families, established Hope-SBH to provide holistic support, advocate for better policies, and raise awareness.
The organization is dedicated to empowering communities and addressing critical gaps in care and prevention through sustainable and inclusive initiatives. Here’s how we’re making an impact:
