Respite Care
We provide safe, short-term care for children so parents and caregivers can rest, attend to personal needs, or work—protecting their health and well-being.
What we do
Practical Support For Everyday Life.
Our programs are designed around the realities families face, supporting children while helping caregivers rest, connect, and build strength.
ExploreMore than care
Supporting children means supporting the people who care for them.
Our work brings together care, community, practical assistance, and advocacy. From time to rest to spaces for connection, our programs respond to the everyday realities of families living with disability.
Each program is part of the same goal: creating more space for families to live with dignity, strength, and hope.
Care in practice
Practical support should make everyday life a little lighter.
Our programs
Support shaped around real family life.
Each program responds to a different part of the journey while contributing to the well-being of the whole family.
Connection & community
Parent Support Groups
We create spaces for parents to connect, share experiences, and support one another through encouragement, learning, and community.
Strengthening the whole family
Family & Sibling Support
We offer guidance and care for siblings and other family members to strengthen the whole family, not just the primary caregiver.
Knowledge & a collective voice
Information & Advocacy
We equip families with accessible information, practical tools, and a collective voice to help them navigate services and advocate for inclusive systems.

The centre experience
A place to rest, connect, and care.
Children and their parents are transported from their homes to our centre in Addis Ababa.
Children receive nutritious meals and a safe, welcoming environment while parents have time to rest, connect with other families, and care for themselves.
Volunteers and fellow parents help create a community where no caregiver has to carry the journey completely alone.
Care
A safe environment for children.
Rest
Space for caregivers to breathe.
Community
Support from people who understand.
