Children and Families

When a Child Has Epilepsy, the Whole Family Carries It

When a child has epilepsy, the whole family begins to live around worry. Parents watch closely, siblings become afraid, and school can become uncertain. Supporting the child also means supporting the caregiver, because stronger families create safer care.

     

First Aid

Knowing What To Do Can Save Someone From Harm

When someone has a seizure, they need calm, space, safety, and dignity. They do not need panic or harmful traditional responses. Our Amharic epilepsy first aid video helps families, teachers, and communities respond with confidence when it matters most.

     

Stigma Reduction

Stigma Still Hurts More Than People Realise

For many people with epilepsy, the hardest part is not only the seizure. It is being feared, hidden, excluded, or misunderstood. CareEpilepsy Ethiopia works with communities to replace fear with knowledge, and shame with dignity.

Education

A Child Should Not Lose School Because of Epilepsy

Some children with epilepsy are kept at home because families and teachers are afraid of seizures. With the right knowledge, schools can become safer and more welcoming. Every child deserves learning, friendship, and the chance to belong.

Community Care

Care Must Reach Families Where They Live

Not every family can reach specialist care easily. Some cannot afford transport, some do not know where to go, and some delay care because of fear. We bring epilepsy awareness, guidance, and support closer to families, schools, health workers, and communities.

Women and Girls

Women With Epilepsy Carry a Heavy Silence

Women and girls with epilepsy can face shame, rejection, abuse, and barriers to marriage, education, and work. They deserve medical care, counselling, protection, and respect. Epilepsy should never take away a woman’s dignity or voice.

Faith and Community

Trusted Leaders Can Help End Fear

Faith and community leaders are often the first people families turn to in moments of fear. With the right knowledge, they can guide families toward care, reduce blame, and help communities respond to epilepsy with compassion.

Medication Support

Regular Medication Can Change a Life

For many people with epilepsy, steady access to medication can mean fewer seizures, fewer injuries, more confidence, and more days in school or work. No one should be left untreated simply because their family cannot afford care.

Caregiver Wellbeing

Caregivers Need Care Too

Many caregivers carry fear, exhaustion, and responsibility quietly. They need information, counselling, rest, and people who understand their journey. When caregivers are supported, children and families become safer, stronger, and more hopeful.
