Our Mission Statement

The Oromo Diaspora Advancement Association (ODAA) is an organization dedicated to the advancement of the Oromo diaspora. ODAA seeks to accomplish this by building strong bridges between members of the Oromo diaspora and strengthening relationships with the generations before. ODAA recognizes that, as it is, the Oromo diaspora’s potential is not being optimized to its fullest capacity. We seek to mobilize the community, its minds, its resources, and its wealth to strengthen our place in the larger global diaspora. We aim to fulfill this goal by providing opportunities for networking & mentorship, education, fundraising & reinvestment, and encouraging the Oromo diaspora to take up space in places we’ve never been before. ODAA aims to see the Oromo diaspora excel in everything we touch, and we seek to provide this by ensuring universal and unconditional support between the Oromo people.Our long-term goal is Oromo excellence.



Our Goals

• Networking & Mentorship - Connecting the Oromo diaspora to each other, Encouraging an accessible pool of knowledge, opportunities, and resources
• Education - Educating the Oromo diaspora on its history, culture, language, and future, Understanding tokkummaa, billisummaa, and Oromummaa
• Fundraising & Reinvestment - Reinvesting Oromo wealth back into ourselves, Pouring back into academic, business, creative, cultural, and religious pursuits
