KESKESE MILASH EDMONTON aims to bring our community together, addressing challenges and promoting social justice, equality, and well-being. Established with trustworthiness and practicality, our association is dedicated to upholding principles of integrity, transparency, accountability, and responsibility.
In Alberta (Edmonton and surrounding areas), we have formed the Kesekese Melash community since 2013 which is comprised of about 200 individuals and about 400 minors. We meet twice yearly for the get-together, perform cultural practices, and support each other. We strive to transfer our traditions and values to our children.
We are always trying to find ways of helping our community to get out of this situation and live a happy life. We are continuously helping each other and building a sense of community for many people by conducting various activities.
