Education & Training

Dr. Lisanwork Honsebo Solomon is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of READIO Ethiopia and READIO International.

His commitment to medicine and humanitarian service was shaped early in life after losing his father and being raised by his mother alone. A defining moment came during his high school years, when his mother suffered a serious leg injury and access to medical care was unavailable—an experience that exposed the realities of healthcare inequity and inspired his path to becoming a doctor.

A medical doctor and humanitarian leader, he founded READIO to bridge critical gaps in healthcare access for underserved and crisis-affected communities. Since 2020, he has led volunteer-driven, community-based interventions in maternal and child health, nutrition, mental health, WASH, and emergency response across hard-to-reach regions of Ethiopia.

READIO Ethiopia operates as a legally registered civil society organization delivering lifesaving services on the ground, while READIO International provides strategic direction, partnerships, and global visibility. Through READIO USA, the organization is building a dedicated fundraising and resource-mobilization arm to support ongoing work in Ethiopia and enable future expansion across Africa.
