About EACAG

Serving the Eritrean community of Georgia since 1987.

Our Story

A Community Built Through Wefera

The Eritrean American Community of Georgia was founded in 1987 and established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 720 Hambrick Road in Stone Mountain. For nearly four decades, EACAG has been a home away from home — a place where Eritreans in Georgia gather to celebrate their heritage, support one another, and build a future together.

Our community was built in the Eritrean tradition of wefera — communal collaboration on the major tasks no individual can accomplish alone. Through the collective effort, financial sacrifice, and dedication of generations of members, EACAG has grown into a thriving institution that preserves our culture and uplifts our people.

Our emblem is the oak “Dairo” tree — flanked by the flag of the United States and the flag of Eritrea — symbolizing a community rooted in two homes, drawing strength from both.
