Esan Community of Georgia
Sharing the Common Heritage
Welcome To
Esan Community Of Georgia
Esan Community of Georgiata is a non for profit organization. The Association was formed in 1997 by a group of Esan indigenes who saw the need for Esan people in Atlanta and its surrounding area to come together to share their common heritage and also, to facilitate an avenue for members and their families to come together to celebrate and share the Esan culture and traditions. Our goal is to reach out to all Esan people to form partnerships with them to put together our resources to help the Esan community.
Together, we will embark on projects that will help to create awareness, eradicate poverty and improve the quality of life of the people of Esan land.
