Our Vision: Why we exist?

We exist because we believe that we must not lose sight of our collective heritage—our culture, our language, our affection and support for each other, and our sense of a community—while also making a home in the UK.

Our Mission: What we do?

Our mission is to mobilise our community in the UK to transform their lives and revive and preserve their heritage. We uphold our vision by providing integrated people-centred programs and community services to help the community members meet their socio-economic needs, intellectual ambitions and cultural integrity. We affirm the integrity of the community and seek to further enhance the community’s civic participation in their country of domicile, the United Kingdom.

Our Objectives

Blina Shama UK is, at its core, a social welfare charity providing support to Eritrean people in the UK and in particular the Eritrean Blin community. Its key objects are:

  • The relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship, or other disadvantages, in particular, but not exclusively those of the Eritrean community within the U.K by the provision of support, training, services and facilities to assist in their integration into UK society.
  • To promote for the benefit of the Eritrean community in the UK the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation for said individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their exclusion or risk of exclusion from UK society with an object of improving the conditions of life for the Eritrean community in the UK.
