Our activities cover a wide range with a goal to inform and educate our community members ways and means to discover and reach their full potential. Since 2017, we have provided a host of culturally relevant services based on our community?s needs. We have structured programs and activities for every age group in our community - from a Grandma's monthly hangout, adult learning classes, annual back to school get-together, awareness and advocacy, transportation services, cultural appreciation, sounds of Africa festival, employment support, a Drop-in-Center to help people with language translation and interpretation, employment assistance, rental assistance to bill payment services etc. The COVID-19 pandemic only widened the divide we were trying to forge.

Outreach & Advocacy: Since majority of our West African languages are not written and the community struggle to understand messages communicated via English, WAWAC has found effective the production of audio-visual materials in different local languages which we share with the community through social and ethnic media as well as make announcements during our own events we organize throughout the year such as our annual Back to School and Grandma Appreciation day, Sukuri Ndogu, Iftar, Kids Arts Exhibition and Talent Show etc. We have established several partnerships with community- based organizations and groups such as Islamic Center of Puget Sounds, Bilal Islamic Center, Seattle Gambian Grandma Association, Mission Africa, the organizations of different West African Countries Such as Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia, Senegal, Ivory Coast etc. Communities of Color Coalition, UW Bothel and Seattle, Edmonds Food Bank etc. with whom we share information and attend each other's events. We create culturally appropriate audiovisual materials in different West African languages that we often share on socials and ethnic media. This informs the community about needed services and available opportunities that they don?t typically have access to. Over 100 different audio-visuals outreach materials created in over 15 different West African languages reaching over 8000 West Africans in the state on different programs we implemented. We organized and participated in 30 different Covid-19 vaccine clinics leading to over 5000 West Africans being vaccinated.
