Mission
Ethiopian & Eritrean Student Association is a heritage club that celebrates the cultures of Ethiopia and Eritrea. EESA is a unique cultural organization on the JMU campus that aims to provide a welcoming space for anyone that is interested in immersing themselves within the rich culture.

In addition, we want to bridge the gap between the people who want to help and the ones who so desperately need it. As multicultural students of JMU, we want to connect the diaspora of our school, and while doing so, our other priority is to give back to our communities through various fundraising events held on campus. Previously, as part of our fundraising efforts, we partnered up with organizations like Wax and Gold, located in Ethiopia, whose mission is to help infants in hospitals by providing sustainable healthcare and materials. We helped donate Neo-Tee® respirator packets which have helped over 2000 infants in delivery rooms across two hospitals located in Ethiopia. Our mission moving forward is to give aid to similar organizations.
