Survivor-Led Excellence

KASMA was founded in November 2021 by fourteen founding members who returned from the Middle East, making it the first survivor-led organization in Ethiopia. Our team brings unique perspectives, lived experiences, and unwavering commitment to our mission.

Each team member contributes their expertise in advocacy, counseling, program management, and community outreach. Together, we create a powerful force for change, ensuring that survivor voices are at the center of every decision and action we take.
