Who We Are

A Community Built on Unity, Heritage, and Service

We are a collective of Eritrean community members, families, elders, and volunteers working together to strengthen bonds and provide support where it is needed most.

Through community involvement, cultural gatherings, family assistance, and meaningful programs, we aim to create a safe and supportive space for Eritreans across Georgia.

Your support carries a family through.

Every contribution helps a grieving family cover the cost of a dignified farewell.

What We Do

Meaningful Support for Eritrean Families and Individuals

The major purpose of Debes-GA is to unite its members under a structured system dedicated to supporting the family of a deceased Association’s member at the time of death. This purpose is fulfilled by providing monetary assistance to the designated representative (or beneficiary) of the deceased member, helping to cover funeral expenses.
