Amani Africa | Business as Mission
Amani ya Juu means “Peace from Above” in Swahili. Amani is a sewing and reconciliation program for marginalized women in Africa. Women from many African nations and cultures are learning to work together through faith in God who provides a peace that transcends cultural and ethnic differences.
Amani ya Juu is committed to holistic development. Women gain experience in stitching, quality control, purchasing, bookkeeping, management and design. As new women enter the program they are mentored in quality workmanship with an emphasis on ethical business practices and harmonious relationships. The work they do provides sustainable income for the individual women and allows for expansion of the program to meet the needs of more individual impacted by poverty.
Amani Africa is looking for young men and women who would like to invest in the lives of those impacted by poverty in their locations around the world. There are opportunities to help out the ministry in Uganda, as well as in the States.
