ABOUT US
Who We Are
Together for Mental Health and Inclusion
Founded on April 5, 2023, Natanim Charitable Organization (NCO) was created from a deep commitment to improving mental health and psychosocial well-being across Ethiopia.
Our journey began in January 2013 as Natanim Consultancy and Training PLC, founded by two Ethiopian counseling psychologists and one certified Norwegian Gestalt therapist. For over a decade, our founders have dedicated themselves to supporting children, youth, and families affected by trauma, disability, and mental health challenges in Addis Ababa and beyond.
