About Letena

Letena Ethiopia was first created to tackle the lack of awareness of health issues surrounding Sexual + Reproductive Health in Ethiopia. When Letena Ethiopia first launched, we had one goal: Sharing SRH information and filling the gap. After over a year of tackling our goal on social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, Letena has expanded to not only SRH issues but all physical and mental health issues. Letena aims to be a database for all things health for Ethiopians in Ethiopia and to break the silence on certain health issues. 

 

Our Mission

We aim to break the silence on many health issues that are beneficial for everyone, our hope is that Letena Ethiopia makes a small impact on the lack of awareness about health topics that exists in our community.

Our Vision

Letena Ethiopia was first created with a bold yet simple vision, to help bring social and behavioral change at an individual and community level.

Our Story

How We Got Started

Letena Ethiopia was first created with a bold yet simple vision, to help bring social and behavioral change at an individual and community level.

With that in mind, we launched a social media platform to raise awareness about health issues not only to raise awareness about important health topics but also to create a safe space for everyone to talk openly about their health.

Through utilizations of various social media platforms, for about a year now, we have educated the mass about various health topics. Since our aim is to be a database for all things health for Ethiopians in Ethiopia, we have increased our platform now, to include a website, podcast sessions as well as YouTube videos.
