The Genesis of Mehari Centre

The Mehari Centre was born out of a pressing need to support the Eritrean community in Ottawa. Over the past decade, Eritreans have become one of the largest groups of resettled refugees in Canada, with more than 60,000 individuals seeking new beginnings since 2015. Despite this significant presence, culturally and linguistically relevant settlement programs are scarce, leaving many without the necessary support to thrive in their new environment.
