About Us
In 1981, Asfaha Hadera — an Ethiopian refugee — founded African Services in the basement of his apartment in the Bronx. Today, this Harlem-based agency serves thousands of people every year in New York City.
African Services is a multi-service human rights agency dedicated to assisting immigrants, refugees, and asylees from across the African Diaspora. Programs address the needs of newcomers affected by war, persecution, poverty, and other global health inequities. ASC provides health, housing, legal, social welfare, education, nutrition, and advocacy services to more than 12,000 people in New York City. Staff representing more than 20 countries and speaking over 27 languages support this diverse and growing community.
