The mission of Washington West African Centre is to connect West Africans in Washington with local resources, bridge the gap between us and the wider community and culturally socialize West African children in a value driven way. Our mission aims to establish a pedestal to enable West Africans discover their full potential and facilitate communication through the use of modern information technologies and works of art for the discovery and realization of their talents. Our goal is to establish a safe and secure abode for our community of West Africans in Washington. This includes a drive to provide food and shelter for our community members who do not have access, or are unable to apply for the government benefits because of their immigration status. The Washington West African center has been serving and still providing essential humanitarian services to our community for more than 5 solid years.
Organization Summary:
The vision of WAWAC is founded in a yearning to see a West African community that is integrated, vibrant and connected to resources both within it-self and the wider Washingtonian community. WAWAC is registered in the state of Washington and operates mostly in Pierce, King and Snohomish counties. These 3 counties serve as home to the over 20 thousand West Africans in the state. It is founded and led 100% by members of the community it serves.
Our services are sought and valued by our community evident in the exponential growth in the number of people who seek our support within a relatively short period since we were founded 2017. Through the years, WAWAC has experienced immense growth from organizing events on ad-hoc bases to operating a fully functional community/cultural center with structured programs/projects. Because of Covid-19, we received funding from
different partners that enabled us to kick start our long term goal of having a safe space for our community members to commune and build a more cohesive community.
