Our vision

CONNECTING: We are an organization that connects people on the local and the global level for the purpose of development, unification and spiritual and physical well-being.

EMPOWERING: Our goal is to empower African Youth to become inspired leaders of their communities, leading Africa towards true independence and prosperity

TRANSFORMING: Our ultimate vision is to see Africa transformed to be an equal partner in the global concert of nations, relying fully on it’s own riches of resources, land and people


AMAHORO International is a global platform where the oppressed and underprivileged may come and experience God's abundant life, peace, provision and fullness of joy.

We are agents of creativity and advocacy for sustainable development, empowering those we serve to discover and express their God given purposes.

Our mission is three-fold:

  • To be a global platform for durable and deep-reaching transformation in Africa through advocacy and sustainable development

  • To be agents of reconciliation and restoration—empowering Burundian and other African refugees to move into positions of influence and leadership

  • To be a bridge—connecting people, communities and nations


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.
