When 2 Become 3
Who we are
Guya, an Amharic word, is a metaphorical place of safety for the baby in the mother’s arms. And that is exactly the purpose of this platform- a place to equip expectant parents with the knowledge and tools to bring and keep your precious ones safely in your arms.
The first of its kind in Ethiopia, the purpose of the courses we offer is to lessen anxiety of expectant parents. Our initial course is focused on educating parents on the birth process and what to expect during labor, after delivery, special circumstances, and hospital tips.
Our grounding framework is centered around the Lamaze healthy birth practice approach and we focus on the health, wellbeing and smooth delivery for both mother and baby.
What we do
