Story

Helena volunteered at the Amani Centre in 2005. Her passing in August 2017 left her family and friends bereft, but we are fortified in the knowledge that her legacy lives on at Amani and in the lives of families of the disabled in Morogoro.

Thanks to donations given in Helena's memory, eight groups of families of children with disabilities living near the Amani Centre were trained in how to set up and run their own small businesses. These are the Helena Economic Social Empowerment Projects. Working cooperatively to run their businesses has helped the families provide mutual support, an income and develop skills in self-reliance.

The Helena family groups have asked Amani to provide training in establishing and running Microbanks. This will help these marginalised families to become self-sufficient by providing them with the knowledge and resources to manage their finances more effectively, take advantage of economic opportunities and raise their status in the local economy.

June 2nd 2023 marks the anniversary of Helena's 37th birthday and 18 years since she was at the Amani Centre. Please donate to the Helena Memorial Appeal to raise £650 to enable Amani to train the Helena families to run Microbanks.
