Amani is born! In September three local Tanzanians get together to start a home for street children.

With the help of a couple of volunteers, Amani is able to send eight former street children to local primary schools.

Amani continues to expand its services for homeless children by developing a Family Reunification Program.

Amani is overflowing with children, but we remain committed to our ‘open-door’ policy: never turning away a homeless child.

The first children graduate from Amani and move on to independent lives. Selemani Juma and Godliving Emmanuel become Amani’s first graduates.

The children and caregivers at Amani make a big move - from a small 2-bedroom home ill-equipped for Amani’s needs to a purpose-built home with enough space for our growing family.

Amani begins to focus on children’s families adding another dimension to our work. Small home repairs are made for 7 families to ensure that children have a safe, adequate home to return to.

A leadership transition takes place as Director Valerie Todd leaves the organization after nine years of dedicated, exceptional service. Meindert Schaap joins Amani.

Amani celebrates its 10 years anniversary- for over a decade now, Amani has truly been a haven of peace for Tanzanian street children and has rescued and supported over 700 children.

Amani decides to build a permanent Drop-In Centre and purchases a plot close to Arusha city center.

An exciting year at Amani Children’s Home, with new projects taking shape, including the opening of a new satellite center in Singida. Amani goes national!

The global Covid pandemic forces Amani to pause some of its outreach programs, instead to focus on the children under its care

Amani celebrates its 20th Anniversary: the lives of thousands of children have been positively impacted since its foundation!
