Our vision is to establish a world class Community based Non-Profit Organization whose programs will not only be based in Toronto- GTA but also extends its hand to Ethiopian Jimmas throughout the world by those who can extend their hands to our mission. The Organization has focused on the Community of Gibe States of Jimma here in GTA and in Ethiopia, and its people, issues, arts and entertainment. Further, the Organization will strengthen the unity of Gibe States by making intercultural and prominent issues all together. Programming should reflect local viewpoints, activities and diverse voices that are not being heard, and communities those have not been reorganized.
