Amani Foundation

The Amani Foundation is a 501(c)3 NGO based in America which aids in the management of Amani Children's Home and fundraises on its behalf. The two branches (The Amani' Children's Home and The Amani Foundation) are here collectively referred to as Amani. Amani seeks not only provide a safe and nurturing environment for children living on site, but access to a quality private education, extracurricular activities that fuel a child's personal and intellectual development, and mentorship that connects child to community members and provides them with the skills and relationships they will need to succeed in adulthood. Amani also serves the community through outreach initiatives, specifically wildlife conservation and public health educational campaigns. Through a combination of illustration and translation, Amani seeks to make scientific and medical knowledge accessible to community members regardless of language and literacy barriers.

The Amani Foundation is a US-based 501(c)3 charity that runs the Amani Children's Home in Baraka Village, Tanzania. Together, we provide full-time residential care to fifty children in our guardianship, as well as outreach programs to their families and community members. Our mission is to support at-risk children and youth by providing uninterrupted access to quality education, psychosocial healing from early childhood trauma, and sustainable food security for healthy growth and development. Since 2012, our Tanzanian team and site have provided a safe harbor for vulnerable children in our community, and since 2015, the Amani Foundation has partnered in this mission by providing funding development, administrative support, and capacity building.
