Welcome to The Edge Mission of Africa

EMA embraces the inclusion of all voices in our community and across our membership, regardless of race, ethnicity, ability, class, religion, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other differentiating characteristic. To guide us in our commitment to inclusivity and diversity EMA must be dedicated to creating programs and opportunities that elevate underrepresented voices. We welcome and support diversity in many forms; we believe it is an important way to effect change in our communities.
