At AMAHORO INTERNATIONAL (AMI), we recognize the importance of the struggle of the Civil Rights Movement and it’s most recognizable and charismatic leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He, together with other leaders, including African visioneers like Kwame Nkrumah, (first president of the post colonial country of Ghana), have shaped the vision of a free society without the stigma of race, exploitation and inequality. These leaders and movements have laid the moral foundation for AMI, as our advocacy for the down trodden and powerless in Africa has been heavily influenced by the desire of leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr to give a voice to those who have no voice.
As we celebrate MLK day, we joyfully announce that AMAHORO INTERNATIONAL is now fully functioning as an independent nonprofit association with its own 501(c) 3 tax-exempt status. We thank ACT International, our former umbrella organization, for their faithful partnership over many years. Our refugee community project AMAHORO LIFE CENTER (ALC) in Uganda is increasing in scope and effectiveness. We celebrate the recent sales of 600 chickens, pointing to the near prospect of self sustainability for ALC.
