Tsinat Flame Award is a formal recognition effort designed to honor members of our community individuals who have made outstanding contributions and shown exemplary leadership for families of children with special needs. To recognize the efforts of people with disabilities and those who support them, each year, we celebrate to pay tribute to this deserving group by presenting the Disability Awareness and Recognition Awards (Tsinat Flame Award). Therefore, the public is encouraged to nominate people they know or people and organizations that have positively impacted the lives of those with disabilities in the Ethiopian and Eritrean communities.
