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.
