Our Story
Amani Children’s Foundation is a 501c3 organization founded by Chad and Jane Stephens in 2004 to serve children orphaned by AIDS and poverty in Africa. We partner with New Life Homes in Kenya, where since 1993, over 2600 abandoned infants have been welcomed as they arrive from hospitals, the police and good Samaritans. They’ve been found in awful situations and nearly all of them have been adopted by Kenyan families.
There are now four New Life Homes for babies across the country in Nairobi, Nakuru, Kisumu, and Nyeri. They also have a special needs home for the 26 children who have been arrived without hope of adoption over the last thirty years. Each of the NLH homes have strict financial accountability and are highly respected in Kenya for their high standards of care and loving environments.
Amani is a volunteer-run organization, and the overhead is covered by the Amani Arts program, allowing 100% of your donation to go directly to Kenya.
We are committed to connecting people in the US to the hope that is stirring in Kenya and to making a real and immediate difference right now for these fragile infants as well as a forever difference for them as they grow up in loving adoptive families.
