About EACAG
Serving the Eritrean community of Georgia since 1987.
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.
Our Vision
That all Eritrean residents in Georgia enjoy a high quality of life, are able to achieve their economic, social, and educational goals, and are part of a strong, prosperous, vibrant, and caring community.
Who We Are
A neutral, welcoming community organization that conducts its affairs free from political and religious division — open to all Eritreans and friends of the Eritrean community, regardless of background or belief.
What We Stand For
EACAG exists to strengthen and serve the Eritrean community of Georgia across three enduring commitments:
A United Community
Building a harmonious, prosperous community where members support one another and renew the mutual respect inherited from our forefathers.
Culture & Youth
Enabling our youth to learn their language and culture, stay connected to their roots, and grow close to one another.
Support for New Arrivals
Helping new immigrants access the social and economic resources available to them, and supporting families through life’s challenges.
