Welcome To Tigrai Community Colorado

WHO WE ARE

The Tigrai Community in Colorado was founded in 1993 to support Tigraians who fled violence in their homelands and were resettled in Colorado. The association is a primary destination for Tigraian engagement, a locus of learning and celebration, and a connector to Tigraian heritage.

TCC understands that our youth thrive when connected to their roots, community holds the answers to our collective healing, economic empowerment is paramount, and Tigraian solidarity worldwide is key.
