Amman Imman empowers and helps preserve Africa’s most vulnerable indigenous peoples and engages students worldwide as socially conscious leaders. Through our Africa-based program, Oases of Life, we establish points of civilization that flourish, beginning with the construction of permanent water sources. Our programs emphasize the role of women and youth as a guiding force for societal stability, optimism, and resilience. Amman Imman’s Guiding Principles: * To serve as a leading advocate for Africa’s most vulnerable indigenous populations. * To raise awareness and garner the support of government and non-governmental partners, as a way to enact positive change, while helping to preserve centuries old traditions. * To increase the capacity of our communities by capitalizing on local knowledge. * To bring new knowledge, and use newly-trained community members as the teachers for surrounding communities. When our trainees become the trainers, they become the root for long-term life improvement and community capacity growth. * With the understanding that sustainable impact takes time, we commit to helping our partner communities grow and thrive over many years. * To engage young people as socially and environmentally conscious leaders and change makers.
