Celebrating Growth and New Beginnings

We are happy to share that Abdurezak Kemal Reshid has completed his six-month internship at Addis Guzo.

During his time with us, he gained hands-on experience across our rehabilitation services, strengthening his transition from academic learning to professional practice while working closely with the team.

As Abdurezak reflects on his experience:

“During my internship, I realized the true value of practical learning. Before starting, my understanding was mainly theoretical, and many concepts felt clear only on paper. Through hands-on exposure in wheelchair services, rehabilitation, and skills development, I began to see how theory translates into real life practice. This experience help me understand clients need more deeply and showed me that professional competence grows when knowledge is applied, observed, and practiced in real situations.”

It has been a pleasure to have him with us, and we truly appreciate his dedication and commitment. We wish him all the best in his next steps.

Strengthening Knowledge on Family Planning and Reproductive Health

Addis Guzo organized a full-day training on February 27/2026 on Family Planning and Reproductive Health for parents who are part of our rehabilitation program. The parents ractively participated in the session, creating space for learning, discussion, and shared experiences.

Our physiotherapists also joined the training, helping strengthen their understanding of these important topics and how they relate to family wellbeing and support systems.

By creating opportunities for learning and open dialogue, we aim to support families with knowledge that contributes to healthier and more informed communities.
