About Us
We started our journey inspired by a beautiful orphan infant (Baby Kalkidan) who had severely been ill and admitted at a government hospital in Addis, where he stayed for a month receiving treatment for a preventable/communicable infectious disease.
One of our founders, who also happened to be his doctor, discovered that Baby Kalkidan was a resident of a government-run orphanage center. She noticed enormous gaps in the provision of medical care to the infants/children residing at the orphanage. She wondered if something could be done. The organization was given the name Kalkidan after the newborn.
