Governance
Board of Trustees
Amani is dedicated to sound management and financial integrity. Amani is governed by an external Board of Trustees – all well-respected leaders in the Moshi community, none of whom receive payment for their role in Amani’s supervision. The Trustees actively oversee the Amani’s progress, help plan for the future, and ensure financial integrity.
The Trustees consist of:
- Aginatha Rutazaa, a children’s rights specialist
- Clive Ashton, an accountant from the UK
- Soren Kaale, a management consultant
- Dr. Henrike Sommerfeld, a doctor from Germany
- Adv. Elikunda Kipoko, a lawyer specializing in human rights
- Dafrosa Itemba, Executive Coordinator of Women Against AIDS in Kilimanjaro
- Nyantita Machota, Internal Program Officer, East Africa Support Unit for NGOs
- Lucy Swai, regional manager for the Red Cross
Registration
Amani is a nationally registered Tanzanian Non-Governmental Organization, #0766. By virtue of its constitution, Amani is a non-profit organization. We regularly submit reports to the Tanzanian Social Welfare Department which monitors organizations working with vulnerable children.
Financial Statement / Audits
As a small, grassroots organization, all the money Amani receives directly benefits the children who turn to us for help. Amani is guided by our mission, constitution, organizational values and strategic plan. As part of our commitment to fiscal responsibility, we undergo an external audit on an annual basis. You may request a copy of Amani’s strategic plan, constitution, organizational values or financial statements by emailing info@amanikids.org.
