CURRENT PROJECTS
Amani Children's Home
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. The goals of this orphanage
are to take in the vulnerable population, street children, and HIV/AIDS
orphans. They provide a safe environment where the children are
given education, health information and a hope of reunification
with their families. It made sense to Hands Across Africa that if
we were going to be hiking Mt.Kili, we would want to ‘give
back’ to this community. In fact, several of the participant
volunteers will be staying on in Moshi after the hike to volunteer
their time and talents to this orphanage. For more details about
