Amani Children’s Home in Moshi is committed to reducing the number of children living on the streets in Tanzania by providing a nurturing place for homeless children to heal, grow, and learn. In addition to providing long-term care, Amani aims to reunite children with their relatives when possible and to equip their families with the tools they need to be self-sustainable. As you would expect, this high level of care comes at a price. At Private Kilimanjaro we support Amani on every front and for each climber we take on to Kilimanjaro we donate funds to this incredibly worthy cause.

In the last 12 months we have been able to provide the home with:

• 125 school uniforms
• Medical care for over 1000 street children
• A full months worth of healthy food for the whole Amani family

Along with our regular donations, we take an active role in promoting their fantastic work and more and more climbers are spending time before or after their climb visiting the home. In July we have a pair of climbers who are avid Chelsea football club fans taking time to visit the children and donate to them an array of Chelsea paraphernalia including footballs, pens and notepads and no doubt there’ll be a few games of football before they leave.

We’ll blog once they have returned and share with you all some of their experiences and photos.
