ABOUT US

The Liberian Association of Metropolitan Atlanta (LAMA), previously known as the Liberian Community Association of Georgia, began in September of 1976 as a non-profit student organization. LAMA was organized to promote peace, unity, progress and social awareness among citizens of the Republic of Liberia residing within Metropolitan Atlanta; maintain Liberia’s cultural and traditional heritage and values; serve as a forum for the exchange of views among Liberians; assist and support specific development projects for community empowerment; encourage educational endeavors among members; attend to the welfare of members in such instances or circumstances as bereavement, sickness, immigration issues and special achievements (i.e., graduations and weddings)

Today, LAMA continues to serve as an umbrella organization for all Liberians, Liberian community organizations and religious groups. The organization strives to promote peace, love, unity, interactions, and exchange of views. We engage in activities that will improve the lives of our people while working in partnership and collaboration with other organizations. We are a non-profit organization, registered with IRS and hold a 501c-3 status. We exist to serve the community.
