At Walia Charity Association in North America, we are a compassionate nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming lives. Founded in 2020 in Northern Virginia, our community has grown to encompass members across the United States and Canada, united by a shared vision.
Our Mission Statement is to provide vital support to the most vulnerable populations in Adiarkay, North Gondar Zone, Ethiopia. Specifically, we focus on empowering disadvantaged children, single parents, and senior adults, striving to break cycles of poverty and foster hope.

Walia Charity Association in North America was founded in the year 2020 by a group of dedicated individuals committed to supporting disadvantaged individuals of the community in the town of Adiarkay in the North Gondar zone, Ethiopia.
We began by providing essential food support to vulnerable senior families in Adiarkay, North Gondar Zone. Our name, “Walia,” honors the community’s inspiring resilience.
Over time, we expanded our programs to include:
