Sustainable Social Good

Sustainable Social Good

Lasting change begins at home.

At Amani, we believe child welfare must be rooted in family and built for the future.

In Tanzania, it’s often poverty—not the absence of living or loving relatives—that leads to children being placed in orphanages.

But what if we could change that?

What if children aging out of residential care returned home but still thrived in school?

What if children never entered orphanages in the first place?

What if families had the support they needed to stay together?

We’re making that vision a reality.

A group of community members and children gathered together in front of the Amani building in Tanzania, representing the organization's commitment to keeping families together and building community-driven sustainable care solutions.

Amani believes in resilient families, thriving communities, and a future where no child becomes an “orphan” because they were born into poverty.

Our mission is to keep children within safe, loving families by providing community-driven, sustainable alternatives to institutional care through psychosocial support, education access, and resilient livelihoods.

We partner with families, communities and care institutions to create sustainable, community-based alternatives to orphanages.

This is sustainable social good—care that reaches beyond the gate of an institution, led by local expertise and strengthened by collective support.
