Ethiopian Community in Seattle

GiveBIG to Support ECS Summer Camp 2025!

The Ethiopian Community in Seattle (ECS) invites you to help us raise $20,000 to support our 2025 Summer Camp—an enriching, culturally rooted experience that opens doors for 50 children from low-income families.

Since 1980, ECS has empowered Ethiopian immigrants in Greater Seattle through culturally tailored programs in health, education, and economic development. Our Summer Camp carries that mission forward by creating a joyful, vibrant space where children can explore their heritage, build new skills, and thrive.

At camp, children connect deeply with their culture through Amharic language classes, traditional cooking, storytelling, and cultural dance. They also gain valuable skills for the future through coding workshops, museum visits, and outdoor adventures that spark creativity, curiosity, and confidence. Most importantly, the camp fosters a strong sense of identity and belonging.

Why Your Support Matters

Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and feel a sense of belonging. To ensure access for all families, ECS provides scholarships and financial aid to children from low-income households. Your donation helps remove financial barriers, making it possible for every child, regardless of background, to experience a summer filled with joy, discovery, and community.

Thank You for Making a Difference

We are deeply grateful for your generosity. Your support does more than fund a camp—it helps build a more inclusive and empowered future for our children.
