Equatorian South Sudanese Community Association–USA (ESSCA-USA) is a nonprofit community based organization representing Equatorians in the United States. It was originally founded as Equatoria Family in Missouri in 2000 by a group of South Sudanese Equatorians who felt a strong need to have a community based organization that would represent Equatorian refugees and advocate on their behalf in the United States. In a 2002 conference in Omaha, Nebraska, Equatoria Family was renamed as Equatorian Sudanese Community Association –USA (ESCA-USA) and its mission and scope was expanded. It was renamed again in 2012 as Equatorian South Sudanese Community Association–USA after South Sudan’s independence in 2011.
