Each year, sales of the Amani Children’s Home Christmas, Holiday, and Gift Cards raise money to pay for tuition, uniforms, textbooks, and school lunches in the New Year. In 2009, Amani sponsored the education of 288 children. These children were enrolled in local primary and secondary schools, Amani’s On-site Education Program, and vocational training centers throughout Tanzania. With your help, Amani hopes to be able to send even more children to school in 2010.

This year, Amani are featuring two beautiful christmas cards for the children’s charity, one which features a silhouette of the African savannah decorated with Christmas lights, and the other which brings a message of peace, which is the meaning of the word “amani” in Swahili. You can make a direct impact in the lives of Tanzania’s homeless children by purchasing your cards from the Amani website. The cards are already in the United Kingdom, ready to be sent out.

Amani are also offering alternative gift cards so that you can honor your loved ones by making a donation to Amani in their honor. Just $16 will provide a set of sheets and blankets for a bed at Amani and $200 will cover the first semester of secondary school for an Amani child. The alternative gift cards are printed on card stock and will be mailed to your address in time for the holiday season.

Help ensure that all children have the chance to learn. Supplies are limited so order your children’s charity christmas cards today at http://cards.amanikids.org.
