About the Association

The Ethiopian Association in the Greater Toronto Area and Surrounding Regions has been providing Community and Social service programs to people of Ethiopian origin and others since 1980. After its incorporation as a Not-for-Profit and Charitable Organization in 1981, it has greatly expanded its programs and services, diversified its workforces, and enhanced its outreach activities.

At present, it is estimated that the Association represents 45,000 to 50,000 people of Ethiopian origin in the Greater Toronto Area and Surrounding Regions.

The Association is governed by thirteen elected Board members, and the day-to-day administration and functions of the Association’s services and programs are monitored by the Executive Director.
