Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page and for supporting the 'climbers'! If you are supporting a particular 'climber' please be sure to put their name in the message box when you make your donation so that each one knows how close they are to reaching their fundraising target. 

'Climbers' will be undertaking this challenge in a variety of ways - they may be walking, running, cycling, swimming, hopping or whatever takes their fancy! The aim is to complete 60 miles (or more) which is the total distance walked when climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. The overall aim is to raise funds for Amani Centre for Street Children which sits at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in Moshi, Tanzania. Please support this fantastic cause as generously as you can. 

More information about Amani Children's Home, Centre for Street Children, Tanzania

 Amani was established in 2001 by Tanzanians who were concerned about the growing number of street children due to the HIV-AIDS epidemic. It started in a humble three-room, rented home. Today, Amani is considered one of the leading organizations caring for street children in East Africa. This year we will be celebrating the 20th Anniversary at the culmination of the virtual Kili climb with an online international event on October 2nd - watch this space! (details will be posted on this page nearer the time.)

Amani now has three bases - in Moshi, Arusha and Singida. They provide outreach to children living on the streets, building trust and encouraging children to come to the safety of the centres. They provide the children with warmth, shelter, good food , education, fun and love. They allow children to be children and see the transformation in young lives. Where possible, with the input of Amani's team of social workers, they support children to be reunited with family members and provide ongoing support and monitoring. There are many many success stories - come to the event on October 2nd to hear more or visit the website :

Amani Children’s Home – Moshi, Tanzania (amanikids.org)

In 2020 Amani reached 654 children on the street, 189 children were rescued from the streets, 282 children were provided with safe shelter and education, 158 children were reunited with family and their communities and 256 children received ongoing educational support in their communities or elsewhere including 10 ex-street children at university. What an achievement!

Amani also is a recognized national leader in promoting children’s rights and is regarded by the Government of Tanzania as an example organization and as a learning site for its social workers.

Thanks to the ongoing support of international donors and monthly sponsors, Amani has grown substantially. Today we help 750+ children a year and employ over 100 highly committed Tanzanian staff.
