The Oromo Community Organization (OCO) of the Washington Metropolitan Area, established in 1988, is a tax-exempt service providing organization dedicated to assisting Oromo refugees in overcoming the challenges they face in their adopted homeland.
With an estimated population of over ten thousand Oromo immigrants and refugees, the OCO serves as a vital support system for this community, which has endured experiences of imprisonment, torture, and internment in their homeland and neighboring refugee camps. The organization aims to address barriers to self-sufficiency, such as language and cultural differences, and improve the conditions for its members through various services and initiatives.
