The board of Addis Guzo consists of people who are closely connected to Ethiopia. All members have been to Ethiopia themselves, have lived and worked there and know the situation of people with disabilities first hand. Their involvement is voluntary and stems from a deep conviction that things can evolve and progress, and that every small step of change counts and can make a huge difference to an individual’s life.
Since August 2023, two new members have joined the Executive Board: Fabienne Stinus and Rahel Huber.
