WELCOME
The Ethiopian Association in the Greater Toronto Area and Surrounding Region (EAGTA SR) has been a cornerstone of the Ethiopian community since its establishment in 1981. As a volunteer-based, Black-led, Black-serving, and Black-centered organization, EAGTA SR is dedicated to empowering individuals of Ethiopian and African origin. We strive to foster inclusivity, promote cultural heritage, and create sustainable programs that address the diverse needs of our community.
Our association serves as a welcoming space where newcomers, seniors, and families can find support, connection, and opportunities for growth. Through our culturally informed, Afrocentric approach, we focus on uplifting marginalized voices, advocating for systemic change, and fostering resilience within our community.
Our Mission
We strive to uplift Ethiopian-Canadians in Ontario through social, cultural, and educational programs, fostering unity and growth.
