Welcome to our Website!
The Greater Philadelphia area is home to over a hundred thousand African and Caribbean Immigrants and Refugees, who have established organizations to maintain social and cultural ties, assist newcomers, and facilitate their absorption into the social fabric of their new homes.
AFRICOM’s vision is to build a strong and inclusive African and Caribbean immigrant and refugee community with all the nationalities.
AFRICOM’s mission is to advocate and organize so that immigrants and refugees feel a sense of empowerment, belonging, and self-sufficiency.

WHY AFRICOM
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Refugees
More than 90% of the individuals and families we serve are immigrants and refugees from Africa and the Caribbean Islands. Many live in the Greater Philadelphia area. In the Philadelphia region, studies show that the number of immigrants and refugees from Africa increased more than any other immigrant groups between 2000 and 2016. In Pennsylvania, 8% of foreign-born are from Africa and 14% of foreign-born are from any of the Caribbean Islands.
In the county of Philadelphia, African and Caribbean immigrants make about 5% of total population.
