Our Approach To Holistic Care
Crisis Intervention
Most refugees come to Amani Sasa when they are in serious crisis. We provide holistic care, love, and support. The services Amani Sasa provides directly address extreme poverty, sickness, child malnutrition, and neglect. Our goal is to assist refugees in stabilizing their lives and prevent further abuse and exploitation.
SERVICES OFFERED: emergency food, medical care, housing, emergency protection
Trauma Healing and Rehabilitation
Far too many refugees face serious physical and emotional trauma on their journey to safety. Healing from those traumas is an integral part of the empowerment Amani Sasa provides. Through counseling and spiritual support, Amani Sasa helps refugees heal emotionally and spiritually, while we tend to their physical needs.
SERVICES OFFERED: emergency shelter for refugee women, children, and men, as well as individual counseling, group therapy, and music therapy
Equipping Refugees For Success
We believe in the power of the potential that God has placed in every person. At Amani Sasa, we seek to invest in individuals in ways that bring out their full potential. Our team of social workers and trainers not only teaches essential skills but also mentors and supports refugees during and after the programs.
SERVICES OFFERED: practical skills training, business training, start-up capital and transition assistance (for residents of shelters), savings and business support groups, scholarships for refugee children and young adults.
Community Transformation
When we invest in an individual, we are making an investment in their family and the wider community. Our alumni graduates are empowered to be leaders of change and remain an integral part of our community, with many going on to serve as members of our staff. We stay connected and provide "light touch" support for our graduates in order to provide encouragement and empowerment as they continue their journeys.
