PROJECT PARTNER: Amani Children's Home
Update from the field: June 2010
This project has been very successful at meeting its objectives and expanding it proposed beneficiaries to 25 youth. Through vocational training and career counselling, this program has provided viable employment options and a safe home to children who would otherwise be living on the street.
At the base of Mt.Kilimanjaro is the town of Moshi. Within Moshi there is an orphanage, Amani Children’s Home, that houses about 60 children.
Amani Children’s Home takes in street children, and HIV/AIDS orphans and provides them with education, health information and a hope of reunification with their families. Change for Children supports the vocational training program here, which is designed for children who have graduated from primary school and have been unable to enter secondary school due to lack of space or low grades.
Programs offered include: carpentry, electrician training, mechanics, traditional drumming and art performance.
