WHO WE ARE

Based in Ottawa, Ontario, the Manenete Collective is vibrant youth initiative under the Etio-Canadian Azawent Association.  Launched in April 2024, this program is designed to connect Ethiopian and Eritrean youth with their cultural roots through fun, engaging, and educational experiences.

​

From exploring history and language to celebrating traditional food and clothing, Manenete dives into meaningful topics in ways that resonate with young people.  Programming runs year-round, with special highlights and activities during the summer months.

​

We welcome youth from all backgrounds to join us in the learning, growing, and celebrating our rich heritage together.
