Preserving Ethiopia's Legacy, Connecting Cultures

The Adwa Cultural and Historical Alliance was founded in 2017 with a profound mission: to preserve and promote Ethiopia’s rich cultural heritage and make it accessible to communities in the United States and beyond. Our non-profit organization is based in Dallas, Texas, and serves as a bridge for Ethiopian children born abroad and anyone interested in exploring one of the oldest and most historically significant cultures in the world. Ethiopia, home to over 12 UNESCO-listed heritage sites, holds an esteemed place in global history, and we are dedicated to sharing its legacy with the world.
