The demands for Amani's services are ever increasing. The more Amani does to raise awareness of disability and offer support in the Morogoro Region, the more its services are needed. In the last two years, the number of children resident at the Amani Centre has more than doubled, putting a strain on its limited resources.

Families in the village of Magubike, some 60 miles from Amani Centre Morogoro, have been asking Amani to open a new Centre in their locality. They have over 170 children with varying disabilities and find it difficult to get to Morogoro for treatment. They have lobbied local Government officials to provide land and basic utilities (electricity and mains water). This has happened. Amani had estimated the cost to open a new Centre in Magubike at £13,500. This figure has been reduced to £8,500 by deploying local labour and materials and the generosity of the villagers. Friends of Amani Tanzania has secured a grant of £5,500 towards this. We are now looking for £3,000 to help Amani to complete Phase 1 of the new Amani Village at Magubike.

Please help us to help Amani reach this target and to contribute to its core funds.
