Testimonials
I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was about 14 years old. It took a long time for me to see doctors to diagnose me with epilepsy. My parents don't understand me and want to hide my epilepsy for fear of stigma. I felt very lonely until I came in contact with CareEpilepsy Ethiopia. All I want is to have the opportunity to go out and enjoy life and work. CareEpilepsy Ethiopia has opened the door for me. Thank you all for being my family.
Tigist: Patient
Being the mother of a child with epilepsy means your life is not yours. All you think and do is for your child. Not to be able to have a good service of epilepsy means my child not being abe to achieve what he could due to his seizures. I have joined CarEpilepsy Ethiopia and made it my mission to advocate for epilepsy.

Eyerus said, "At first I went into denial: my son seemed so perfect, he glowed with good health, was energetic and happy. Then he started having seizures and the seizures began increasing in frequency and I went into a panic. It was too much to deal with the stigma that I faced becuase of my child having epilepsy. I was in such a state of anxiety and it was impossible to find any information about epiepsy." Thank you CareEpilepsy for making it easy for me to understand epilepsy and to know that my child is not possessed by evil spirit. You have supported me in the last five years and walked the talk with me."
