Starting from June 2010, ten households started growing vegetables on their own plots and especially housewives were happy with similar climate in this new environment they could grow some traditional vegetable seeds which they brought from their home country. The plot size 15’X15’ is enough for growing varieties of vegetables adequate for one household’s own consumption.

Welcome to our website for the Zomi Association USA. The Zomi communities of Oregon and Washington are working with Zomi across the country to establish our organization beginning in 2009. We hope you will support us and help us connect with Zomi immigrants and refugees throughout America.

Zomi have been coming to America primarily in the last 5 years from Burma due to religious and racial persecution. Many have come from refugee camps in Thailand, Malaysia and India, and are seeking a new life here in America. We are working to better support ourselves with community development, and building a network of support among organizations, churches, and civic institutions.

If you identify as Zomi or would like to support our community, please consider joining our organization today! You can click on “Membership” for more information, or contact us through “About Us“.
