Building Bridges, Empowering Generations
Eritrean Professionals is a global community dedicated to unlocking the collective potential of Eritrean students and professionals through connection, guidance, and shared success.
Our Story
From an Idea to a Global Network
Eritrean Professionals was founded in 2011 and refounded in 2025 by a small group of Eritrean graduates in the United Kingdom who saw a need for a unified platform. They recognised the immense talent within their community but also the shared challenges of navigating foreign education systems and career landscapes without a robust support network.
What began as an informal mentorship among friends quickly grew into a formal vision: to create a sustainable ecosystem where experience could be shared, resources pooled, and aspirations nurtured. Our first major milestone was launching our online mentor directory in 2026.
Today, that vision has flourished into a vibrant, international network. We are united by our heritage and our commitment to lifting as we climb.
