the Amani Foundation

The Amani Foundation began in 2015, but the dream of one Tanzanian community started long before that.

Amani Children’s Home is a Tanzanian-founded and led organization deeply committed to supporting underserved children in their academic pursuits, emotional development, and physical well-being. Functioning as a residential community center for children whose parents have relinquished custody due to personal hardships or abuse, Amani's core mission goes beyond immediate care. We actively engage in family support initiatives, emphasizing educational empowerment, reunification with relatives, and holistic healing. In response to the community's invitation, I founded the Amani Foundation in the United States, driven by a personal commitment to sustaining this crucial work. As the sole legal affiliate of the center, the Amani Foundation is exclusively dedicated to the well-being of the children under our care, advancing our team's capabilities, and ensuring the future sustainability of Amani’s work. This underscores our unwavering commitment to the Tanzanian leadership and vision that propels our mission.
