Support Us

AWC serves refugees in Clarkston, Dekalb County, Metro Atlanta, and parts of Africa.  AWC's programs impact the lives of so many people each year. Your gifts help us save lives and care for families suffering as a result of events completely out of their control. They will help in empowerment, education, restoration, medical care, counseling, and importantly, help rebuild their lives!

Help us directly by making a one-time through the ways listed below.

Johari Africa is a social enterprise under the women's economic empowerment program at Amani Women Center, Inc.

Johari Africa is Swahili for Jewels of Africa. Using authentic African fabric, recycled paper, coconut shells, glass powder, wood, seeds, and beading that reflect local culture; these eco-friendly crafted products create jobs and fair wages for these hard-working African women in Clarkston and in parts of Africa.

For every piece of jewelry and apparel sold, the money is reinvested in the community and helps sustain their homes and their children’s education.

"AWC's sewing program helped me build friendships and other skills that improved my life. Now I make money sewing for my community." 

(Marie, AWC Alumna)
