our mission and vision reflect our deep commitment to supporting refugees as they embark on new journeys.
These guiding principles shape every aspect of our work, driving our efforts to create meaningful, lasting change. Through a holistic approach, we aim to empower individuals and families by providing the resources, opportunities, and support they need to not only survive but thrive.
Our Mission
Our mission is to embrace and empower those who seek refuge in the United States, providing the support, guidance and resources they need to build brighter futures.
Our Vision
We envision a future where all refugees have an equal chance to build happy and productive lives in America, flourishing independently, and contributing positively to the community.
Amaanah’s staff is lean, agile and supported by a dedicated team of volunteers.
Amaanah employs just four full time members of staff, depending on a committed team of volunteers and an engaged Board of Directors to ensure that overhead is kept at a minimum, and that the highest proportion possible of the funds we raise go directly to support our programs.
