Amani is a registered 501(c)3!

It’s official! Amani is a registered 501(c)3 so all donations are tax deductable in the United States.

Our EIN number is available upon request, and each year we will be releasing an annual report on how your funding helps Amani grow. Amani has formed its inaugural board of directors, and authenticated our executive officers. Their bios will be available online during the month of April. Additionally, we will be launching The Amani Orphanage News Letter: find us at the-amani-orphange-news-letter@googlegroups.com. Our first edition will go out at the end of this month so stay tuned.

Finally, our water pump is being installed at lighting spend. Thanks to Sharon, Kristina, and all the incredible donors who helped realize this project. Additionally, we have lovely new chairs and tables in our new kitchen facility! Amani’s facilities are fantastic!
