Zemi Yenus is the founder of the Joy Center for Children with Autism and Related Developmental Disorders, which provides educational and rehabilitation access to children with autism. She is the lead activist in Ethiopia raising awareness about the challenges and potentials of autistic children.
Zemi found herself in a struggle to inform and educate her community as she educated herself about autism after her second son, Yousuf, was born with autism. After being forced to move Yusuf to six different schools and paying two to three times the normal tuition, Zemi took her son out of school and started the Joy Center, a place where children with autism could learn the skills necessary to become productive members of society.
Among her many innovations, Zemi developed "ABUGIDA FONETIKS", a language curriculum and tool for autistic kids that uses the Geez alphabet (the root of northern Ethiopian languages such as Tigraic and Amharic and Fidel).
Today, the Joy Center serves 62 youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders and 450 other youth are on the waiting list.
