Christina Degbo manages two important programs for Amaanah, the Teach 360 Program and Women's Empowerment
3 Pillars
OUR PROGRAMS FOCUS ON EDUCATION
AND LONG TERM CHANGE…
From placing hundreds of classroom assistants across Houston school districts, to working with individual adults to help them understand their new surroundings, Amaanah’s goal is simple – to support refugees in their effort to build productive and happy lives in America.
EDUCATION
Teach 360 was created to provide one of the most critical needs, language proficiency. New arrivals need help to keep up with school. Amaanah provides this assistance.
Guiding Stars program provides refugees an opportunity to make their dream of going to college a reality. Each year, Amaanah spends thousands of dollars on deserving students.
empowerment
Our Big Sisters Circle program works with women to provide help in navigating their new city, strengthening their English skills, and pursuing a career.
Borderless Amaanah’s first Micro-Enterprise Initiative provides women with the skills to develop income from home whilst expressing their cultural heritage through artisanal craft and wares.
