About Amani Intercultural

As our name suggests, Amani, which means 'peace' in Swahili, strives to connect people from diverse backgrounds and faiths, empowering and educating them to improve their quality of life. We are committed to raising awareness and advocating for justice on behalf of oppressed communities. Our mission is to foster unity and collaboration while promoting mental well-being and financial empowerment. Amani provides vital resources and support to African and immigrant communities by addressing the unmet needs of African immigrants and refugees in Portland who face barriers to accessing health and human services due to cultural, geographic, linguistic, and systemic challenges. Through our programs and advocacy, we strive to create equitable opportunities and enhance the well-being of all community members.
