ETHIOPIAN ASSOCIATION
Founded in 1981, the Ethiopian Association in the GTA and surrounding regions supports Ethiopian-Canadians through social, cultural, educational, and diaspora-focused initiatives, fostering community growth and unity.
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.
Impact To Community
Over the past year, EAGTA SR supported over 2,600 members with seminars, processed 113 refugee sponsorships, managed 50 crises, and hosted biweekly senior activities for 70+ members.
Donations & Support
Our work relies on the generosity of donors, members, and partners. Together, we create meaningful change.
