Our projects
Our organization is involved in numerous projects in various fields.
Dehay Amiche
This project is dedicated to Eritrean history, focusing on the unique experiences of a group known as “Amches.” Amches are Eritreans born and raised in Ethiopia to Eritrean parents, it aims to shed light on:
Amches’ History in Ethiopia: It explores why and how Amches came to live in Ethiopia.
Impact of Eritrea’s Annexation by Ethiopia: It examines how the annexation of Eritrea by Ethiopia led to generations of migration, including Amches, to various parts of the world.
Deportation and Rejection: Amches faced deportation by the Ethiopian government and, at times, lacked full acceptance from the Eritrean government. The project acknowledges this unique situation without diminishing the experiences of other Eritreans.
Healing and Reconciliation: The project’s goal is to promote healing and reconciliation within the Eritrean community. It recognizes the mental health toll of carrying trauma for over two decades.
Cultural Misunderstandings: It acknowledges that cultural misunderstandings have caused conflicts and pain among Eritreans and advocates for understanding and learning as paths to healing and reconciliation.
Memorial Eritrea
The Annual Eritrean Memorial Week (AEMW) is dedicated to honouring civilians who lost their lives before and during the 30-year struggle for Eritrean independence. Its objectives are:
National Recognition: To acknowledge the events of the Eritrean struggle for independence on a national level.
Commemoration: To pay tribute to the lives lost and document relevant information about the atrocities.
Education: To inform and educate Eritreans, especially the younger generation, about the historical genocide committed against civilians.
AEMW spans from November 14th to December 1st each year to encompass the gravity of the multiple massacres and atrocities.
Objectives include designating December 1st as Annual Eritrean Memorial Day, documenting relevant information, creating an archive, seeking an apology from the Ethiopian government, initiating reconciliation, designing a curriculum for Eritrean schools, and creating a Declaration.
The AEMW aims to collectively remember all atrocities, educate, and raise awareness about the genocide. Its goal is to spark dialogue and forge a national narrative that includes the pain, unhealed wounds, and unaddressed past, ensuring a future where everyone’s suffering is part of the conversation.
Documenting Eritrea
This project has a singular mission; to record all aspects of Eritrea. Our work unfolds across three dimensions, each with its unique approaches:
Cultural Documentation: We endeavor to capture the rich tapestry of Eritrea’s diverse ethnic groups. This entails chronicling their ways of life, customs, and traditions. We are committed to portraying the experiences and narratives of the Eritrean diaspora communities and those residing in refugee camps.
Geographical Exploration: The project involves an exhaustive exploration of Eritrea’s geography. This encompasses mapping its varied regions, pinpointing geographical landmarks, and delving into the historical significance of specific locales. We aim to leave no stone unturned in unraveling the country’s geographical tapestry.
Historical Archiving: We are devoted to exploring past events and historical milestones that have transpired within Eritrea or the diaspora. This extends to both historical events that have shaped the nation’s identity and contemporary occurrences, as well as future events that may unfold. Our objective is to present a holistic view of history as it has and continues to evolve, capturing emerging narratives as they unfold.
