To reduce the number of children living on the streets in Tanzania by providing a nurturing place for homeless children to heal, grow, and learn.

Amani provides a safe and loving home, nutritious meals, and medical care to homeless children in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. Amani’s trained caregivers make sure that each child rescued from the streets is given love and attention as well as important life skills, restoring hope to their lives. The children receive three healthy meals a day. Many children arrive at Amani malnourished from living on the streets. With good, nutritious food, they quickly become healthy and active. Medical care is an important service that Amani provides to the children. Amani has a full time nurse who cares for all the children’s medical needs, from bandaging scrapes and bruises to treating more serious illnesses like malaria, TB and HIV. She gives weekly health lessons to the children on topics such as personal hygiene, STDs and nutrition. There’s a real family atmosphere at Amani, with the older children taking care of the younger ones. Amani caregivers have created a cheerful, happy place that warmly welcomes children who have faced many hardships in their lives.
