Our MISSION: AMAHORO LIFE CENTER
Since 2016, Amahoro International’s African mission is found in Bombo, Uganda, where the first AMAHORO LIFE CENTER has given Burundian refugees the opportunity to develop life skills, found businesses, overcome trauma and become self-sustaining members of the local community. Starting in 2025, Amahoro Life Center is expanding its mission to partner with Ugandan youth to foster a culture of self-reliance, business and agricultural development, creativity and modern Africa-centered leadership of integrity.
