Why we reach further
In a remote village in eastern Ethiopia, Semira Mohammed’s life changed drastically when her baby, Eklas, was born with spina bifida. Facing abandonment and hardship, Semira sold a goat to fund Eklas’s treatment at the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Center of Excellence.
Her journey led to successful surgeries and a transformed family outlook. Now a respected community leader, Semira is dedicated to educating others about spina bifida and hydrocephalus. Read the full story of her resilience and impact here.
