Serving the Abiriba community in South Carolina since 2020
The South Carolina Chapter of ACIU North America was founded in 2020 and has quickly become a close-knit community of 48 dedicated members in the Columbia area and surrounding regions. Despite being one of our newer chapters, we have established strong traditions and meaningful connections.
Our chapter focuses on educational support, cultural preservation, and community engagement. We take pride in our scholarship program, traditional cooking workshops, and community service initiatives that strengthen both our Abiriba identity and our ties to the broader South Carolina community.
We welcome all Abiriba people in South Carolina to join our growing family and participate in preserving our heritage while building a brighter future for the next generation.
