Educating and providing healthcare for the children of Africa.

Amina’s Gift is supported by purchasing crafts from local artists and then reselling them. This provides employment for the local artists, who in return are able to support their families. The profits are used to support and encourage a good education for all the children in the community.

All of us at Amina's Gift have been busy making plans for 2019 and are looking forward to another successful year. We are happy to announce many exciting events starting in April.

We are particularly excited about the arrival of 3 shipping containers filled with art. They will be arriving in early spring and there are many fantastic pieces that you won't want to miss. We'll keep you posted on their status.

Amina's Gift provides direct funding for African children who need basic daily living necessities like food, clothes and shoes. We also pay for school fees and transportation to local clinics to receive government provided health care and medications.

We support ourselves by purchasing crafts by local artists and then reselling them. This provides employment for the local artists, who in return are able to support their families. The profits are used to support and encourage a good education for all the children in the community.

“If your plan is for one year plant rice. If your plan is for ten years plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years educate children.”
-Confucius

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
-Nelson Mandela

“Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mine worker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.”
-Nelson Mandela

“One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen, can change the world.”
-Malala Yousafzai

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
-Frederick Douglass

“In some parts of the world, students are going to school every day. It’s their normal life. But in other parts of the world, we are starving for education…it’s like a precious gift. It’s like a diamond.”
-Malala Yousafzai

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to go to school.

All lives have equal value.
