The Organization is based at Mbagala Chamazi, a small vibrant village beside the city of Dar Es Salaam, in a low-income community areas. This is where volunteers stay during their volunteering period.

We are currently running a school within the organization setup the school is at start up stage and needs more support given that most of the children are from vulnerable families that cannot even afford to pay for a day's meal.

Our vision is to create the world where all the children have access to quality education and healthcare, regardless of their social economic back ground. We believe that by investing in the next generation, we can create brighter future for all.

Area of Operations
Currently the organization run the following few projects, due to the lack of sufficient funds we have decided to pick the most helpful projects to run with minimum budget to make sure that our goals will be attained at the end of the year in organization calender.

Rescue, Sponsorship and scholarship, the organization in collaboration with volunteers have successful rescued and sponsored 15 desperately children live under extremely poverty due to absent of the parents who either died or abandoned them. We provide them with clothes, shelter, meals and school supplies. Some of these children are super smart, they doesn’t deserve to be street children with no future.


Free early childhood educational centre, Amka youth development organization in collaboration with our first nursery school, Sara's day care centre offering a free early childhood education in a village of Chamazi and the neighbour hood. Here, at our nursery school, we don’t charge any school fees, instead the parents have to contribute the actual food for the school or contribute in monetary term cash for the school food. We provide children with two meals per day breakfast and lunch and for those we sponsor we add one more meal dinner.

Our history In 2021 our nursery school was founded by locals; Jovin, Mama Mbili, and our friends, its small non-profit school which offers free education to the underprivileged children. It started with 17 students who were taught in a small building provided by local family, Mama mbili family after only six months number increased to more than 35 kids which cause some of the lesson to be held outdoors. Through fundraising in 2022, was possible for the school to move into the large building over 60 students between 1.5-6 years old are now being taught. We believe child's future successfully and advancement in life is greatly influenced by their early education as those who goes to school early develop an interest in education than those who did not. Last year, 85% of our students from the preschool, at Sara's day care center our first charitable nursery school got the chance to be accepted to join public school. For the public school to accept children there should be able know how to read, write and count numbers perfect. Public schools don’t offer early childhood education. For us this is great motivation to start up our new journey of giving a chance and hope these desperately children. We welcome volunteers from all over the world to join us to make a difference to the children's daily lives! Our project is constantly supported by volunteers. As a volunteer you can - according to your likes, talents or profession - teach the children, assist the teachers in classes, play with the kids, childcare, help to organize and manage the project, help with photography, social media and website, help in administration or assist with public relations and fundraising. We also welcome volunteers to come with their own ideas which might seems to be potential.
