Overview
Mission
Our mission is to prevent and treat neural tube defects in full partnership with, and sustained by, ethiopians so that every child affected by spina bifida and hydrocephalus has the chance to grow and thrive.
What it reported doing in 2025
Treatment: our treatment program aims to improve outcomes for children affected by spina bifida and hydrocephalus (sbh) through a comprehensive approach that includes neurosurgeries, training of neurosurgical physicians and nurses, and critical equipment donations. We have established strong partnerships with neurosurgeons and hospital administrators to enhance the capacity for effective treatment. A significant current initiative involves the renovation of a facility to become the first standalone pediatric neurosurgery center in ethiopia. This center will provide specialized care, increase the availability of surgical interventions, and serve as a training hub for healthcare professionals in the region. Additionally, we are focused on building a reliable supply chain for essential medical materials, such as shunts, catheters, alongside establishing a pediatric neurosurgery training center within the country.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
