Meet Our Team

FOUNDER & CEO
My name is Roza Ayele, and I am the founder of CARE. Growing up in Ethiopia until the age of 10, I saw firsthand how difficult it was for many families in rural communities to access even the most basic healthcare services. One experience that forever stayed with me was when my cousin became seriously ill, and our family had to travel long distances just to get her the care she needed. This moment opened my eyes to the harsh reality so many people face every day.
When I moved to the United States, I couldn’t help but notice the vast differences in healthcare access. These experiences fueled my passion to make a change, starting with the communities I came from. Through programs like LearnServe Fellows and Incubator, I turned my vision into action, creating CARE to address the lack of accessibility to healthcare in underserved regions.
While Ethiopia is my starting point, my dream is to take CARE worldwide, reducing healthcare disparities and giving every community the chance to thrive, no matter where they are.
