Welcome to the United Somali Bantu of Greater Pittsburgh!
We are excited to meet you and have you learn more about us!
ABOUT THE SOMALI BANTU
We were brought to Pittsburgh as refugees from the country of Somalia after spending over 20 years in refugee camps along the Somali borders. We originate from the Jubba Valley which is in southern Somalia between the Jubba River and Shabelle River.
In Somalia, we were agricultural farmers and worked this area of fertile land to grow crops for our families and villages. We primarily follow Muslim faith practices and traditions and are very welcoming and friendly people who desire to learn to know our neighbors in the Pittsburgh region.
