Governance
Board of Trustees
Amani is dedicated to sound management and financial integrity. Amani is governed by an external Board of Trustees – all well-respected leaders in the Moshi community, none of whom receive payment for their role in Amani’s supervision. The Trustees actively oversee the progress of the home, help plan for the future, and ensure financial integrity.
The Trustees consist of:
- Aginatha Rutazaa, a children’s rights specialist
- Clive Ashton, an accountant from the UK
- Steven Gumbo, a representative from the Tanzanian Social Welfare Department
- Soren Kaale, a management consultant
- Father Alex Mulongo, a priest and teacher from Kenya
- William Raj, an education specialist from India
- Dr. Henrike Sommerfeld, a doctor from Germany
- Adv. Elikunda Kipoko, a lawyer specializing in human rights
Registration
Amani is a nationally registered Tanzanian Non-Governmental Organization, #0766. By virtue of its constitution, Amani is a non-profit organization. We regularly submit reports to the Tanzanian Social Welfare Department which monitors organizations working with vulnerable children.
Financial Statement / Audits
As a small, grassroots organization, all the money Amani receives directly benefits the children who turn to us for help. Amani is guided by our mission, constitution, organizational values and strategic plan. As part of our commitment to fiscal responsibility, we undergo an external audit on an annual basis. You may request a copy of Amani’s strategic plan, constitution, organizational values or financial statements by emailing info@amanikids.org.
