Donations towards capital works helps us to build the physical infrastructure of our property. The ongoing projects are school buildings and staff accommodation. From time to time there are one-off projects, such as fencing, borehole and the initiation of our solar farm. Amari has a core team of builders and grounds staff, and employs extra casual labourers during the more busy times.

Over the past 4 years we have had an Australian team come for a couple of weeks to help with some of our one-off projects such as the fencing, or solar farm setup.

Amari was recently requested by the police (and in consultation with the probation office) to take Baby James into temporary care while some family issues are being sorted out.

From time to time, Amari assists a community member with emergency relief or assistance. This might be food shortage, hut reconstruction, covering transport costs for medical care or educational assistance. This assistance is not ongoing, and generally Amari ensures that family and community members are also contributing to help alleviate the situation.

Amari may also contribute towards equipment or the training of a community member, to help them start generating their own income.

We will occasionally highlight a particular special need, such the current case of Baby James, or the earlier case of Mama Sheila, who had an epileptic fit, fell into a fire, and underwent surgery and skin grafts.
