To care for a child is to care for the vulnerable and invest in the future. Instead of child sponsorship programs of organizations like Compassion International or World Vision, we support children through organizations we have a close relationship with. Through our partner, Beacon of Hope, we support the education of the children of the Beacon ministry. By enabling these children from one of Nairobi's slums to attend a private school, we ensure that they receive a good education and a chance to escape permanent poverty. The children at Amani Children's Home are taken off the streets of Arusha and Moshi Tanzania. At the Home they receive shelter, food, education, counseling, and love. The goal of the home, though, is not to institutionalize the children. Instead, they aim to restore them to their families or help them find a new family.

Learning & Serving 
This Christmas the children at Amani each received a shoebox through Operation Christmas Child, containing small gifts such as toy cars, notebooks and whistles, as well as a new outfit of clothes. The children spent the entire afternoon playing with their new toys and showing each other their gifts. It was heartwarming to see their smiles and hear their laughs.
