Description:: Amani ya Juu ("Peace from Above" in Swahili) is a sewing and reconciliation project for marginalized women based in East Africa. The women involved in the project are learning to work together through faith in God who provides a higher peace that transcends ethnic difference. Amani itself portrays a unique picture of diversity with women coming from over 10 different countries throughout Africa. Many women have been refugees and all experience marginalization in some way. The main center is located in Nairobi, Kenya with sister centers in Rwanda and Burundi.

Amani’s mission is to spread God’s peace by implementing holistic development that meets physical, spiritual, emotional, and social needs. Amani equips and empowers women to become agents of peace in their own families and communities.

Amani is a self-sustaining non-profit project. Income from product sales support for the women and their families and sustains the growth and development of the centers.

It is our hope and prayer that you shall join us in passing on this higher peace...and share your experiences with us as well!
