Amani Family Services in partnership with International House invites the community to help provide a warm welcome to Afghan refugee families rebuilding a new life in Fort Wayne.
We are kindly requesting the support of 11 sponsors to help provide supplies and items for families supported by Amani. Some of the most common items include rakes and brooms, laptop computers, clothing for children, bedding, and sewing machines to make clothing. This is a wonderful opportunity for families, organizations, churches, and businesses to ensure refugee families gain stability and security.
Email Adriana Buendia, Outreach Assistant at Amani Family Services, to sponsor a family, or call 260-484-1414 ext. 544. Adriana will send each sponsor a donation wish list. Please confirm sponsorship by April 30 — donated items will be needed by mid-May.
For more than 40 years, Afghanistan has suffered from conflicts, poverty, and food insecurity. Afghans now make up one of the largest refugee populations in the world. For the families settling in Fort Wayne, this could be the first time in their lives where peace is truly attainable. Please help us create a welcoming community.
