 Each Local must follow these aims and objectives:

 

The E.W.F Incorporated Aims and Objectives are as follows:

(a) To promote love and good will among Ethiopians at home and abroad and thereby to maintain the integrity and sovereignty of Ethiopia, to disseminate the ancient Ethiopian culture among its members, to correct abuses, relieve oppression and carve for ourselves, and our posterity, a destiny comparable with our idea of perfect manhood and God’s purpose in creating us: that we may not only save ourselves from annihilation, but carve for ourselves a place in the sun: In this endeavor, we determine to seek peace and pursue it, for it is will of God for man.

(b) To promote and pursue happiness: for it is the goal of human life and endeavour.

(c) To usher in the teaching and practice of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.

(d) To promote and stimulate interest among its members in world affairs, and to cultivate a spirit of international goodwill and comity.

(e) To promote friendly interest among its members, to develop a fraternal spirit among them, and to inculcate in its members the desire to render voluntary aid and assistance to one another at all times.

(f) To render voluntary aid and protection to its members without fee or charge for same when in need. And, if necessary, to provide and care for refugees and disabled victims of the Italio-Ethiopian War.

(g) To give concrete material and voluntary aid without fee or charge for the same, to all such refugees and disabled victims an to raise funds by voluntary subscription for the purposes aforementioned. There shall be no charge, fee, beneficiary tax or other assessment upon the members of the Ethiopian World Federation, Incorporated, except for dues, provided for in the Constitution and By-Laws of the Ethiopian World Federation, Incorporated.

May God help us to accomplish these aims and ideals

Africans and their Diasporan descendents according to Henry Louis Gates, Jr.:  "have long been driven to collect, order, and interpret the details of their historical past in Africa and in the New World--in part because of a powerful historical impulse that can be traced to the traditional role of the oral historians, or griots, and in npart as a reaction to having been stripped of their culture and their past by slavery...."

 

Please periodically visit our calender and web pages for updated information on the Ethiopian World Federation events, meetings, reports, etc as we grow and strategically plan our year's projects and work.

 

 

In brotherhood, peace and blessings.
