Amani Global Works

What Amani Global Works does

Amani Global Works is a New York-registered 501(c)-style nonprofit founded in 2010 by Dr. Jacques Sebisaho and Mimy Mudekereza to deliver free primary healthcare to impoverished communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its operational core is a three-tier community health delivery system: community health workers (CHWs) conduct home visits after completing a 21-day training program; partner government-funded community health clinics handle outpatient needs such as family planning and malaria prevention; and the Idjwi Island Hospital functions as the referral facility offering Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics/Gynecology, and Laboratory services. All services are provided at no cost to patients, with priority given to children under five, pregnant women, and indigenous communities.

The organization's service portfolio extends beyond clinical care into a three-tier Nutrition Program (clinical, community, school-based), a Maternal Health Program with obstetric and neonatal capabilities, the Amani Global Education elementary school for girls, and an Agriculture Program. To date, Amani reports 4.9 million home visits, 574,366 child cases treated, 8,218 facility-based deliveries, and 54,536 women started on family planning. For 2024 the organization has set aggressive scale targets of 11 million home visits, 1,000 CHWs deployed, 72 clinics operated, and 20 health zones established.

The business model is philanthropic: Amani is funded through donations (processed via Donorbox) and institutional foundation grants, with named supporters including Draper Richards Kaplan, Skoll Foundation, Schwab Foundation, Impact Assets, Izumi Foundation, and Mulago Foundation. It has a co-leadership governance structure (Co-Founder/Executive Director and Co-Founder/Director of Nursing), a country director for DRC operations, and a Board of Directors plus a sizeable Board Emeritus. The organization has no app, no public API, no patents, no AI/ML capabilities, and reports revenue only via annual Form 990 filings; it has no parent company or external PE/VC backing.

Products and services

• Community Health Worker (CHW) Program and Home-based Healthcare Services A workforce program that recruits and trains local community members as Community Health Workers via a 21-day curriculum covering malaria, diarrhea, malnutrition, vaccinations, disease prevention, and nutrition (with written assessment, interview, background check, and practical evaluation). CHWs then deliver free primary healthcare directly at patients' homes — providing health education, screening, and treatment for conditions such as malaria, diarrhea, and malnutrition — and refer patients requiring higher levels of care to community health clinics or the Idjwi Island Hospital.
• Maternal Health Program Comprehensive maternal healthcare program serving expectant mothers, with prenatal care, facility-based pregnancy deliveries (including Cesarean sections), a general surgery unit, an obstetric unit, and a neonatal intensive care unit for postpartum support. Includes reproductive health services such as family planning initiation (54,536 women started on family planning).
• Three-tier Nutrition Program Integrated nutrition service comprising (1) Clinical Nutrition for severely malnourished children requiring emergency hospital admission, (2) Community Nutrition for moderately malnourished children receiving fortified meals twice daily, and (3) School Nutrition providing free nutrient-rich lunches to students through school partnerships.
• Idjwi Island Hospital Amani's referral hospital providing comprehensive medical care including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Laboratory Services. All medical services are free to patients, with special focus on children under five, pregnant women, and indigenous communities.
• Community Health Clinics Partner government-funded health clinics that Amani refurbishes with medical supplies and equipment to expand services including family planning, malaria prevention, and other treatments. Clinics are staffed by nurses who refer complex cases to the Idjwi Island Hospital.
• Amani Global Education Elementary school for girls operated by Amani, intended to equip students to advocate for their own health and become agents of community change through education integrated with Amani's healthcare programming.
• Agriculture Program Agricultural training program in which local farmers learn to grow nutritious foods and incorporate healthy eating habits at home, supporting sustainable community health and economic growth.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF Health Africa): AMREF is a leading African health NGO training community health workers and strengthening primary care systems across multiple countries including the DRC. It overlaps with Amani on CHW training, maternal/child health, and government partnership models.
• BRAC: BRAC runs one of the world's largest networks of community health workers across multiple low-income countries, alongside education and livelihoods programs. It is a much broader incumbent operating Amani-style CHW models at significantly greater scale across Africa and Asia.
• Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders): MSF operates hospitals, clinics, and community outreach in conflict-affected DRC provinces, including South and North Kivu. It is a comparable emergency and primary healthcare provider operating in the same geographies as Amani.
• International Rescue Committee (IRC): IRC delivers primary healthcare, maternal and child health services, and community health programming in conflict-affected DRC provinces. It shares Amani's focus on integrated community-based health delivery in fragile settings.

Direct peers

• Last Mile Health: Last Mile Health designs and scales community health worker programs to bring primary care to remote communities in Liberia and across Africa. Its CHW training, supervision model, and government partnership approach closely mirror Amani's operating logic.
• Partners In Health: Partners In Health operates integrated community-based healthcare delivery systems in resource-poor settings, including Rwanda and other African countries, combining CHWs, clinics, and referral hospitals. It is the closest direct peer to Amani in model, mission, and operating geography.
• Muso: Muso builds community-led health systems in Mali using CHWs, proactive case-finding, and government clinic support to reduce child mortality. Like Amani, it operates a tiered CHW-to-clinic-to-hospital pathway in a fragile, low-income setting.

Emerging players

• Living Goods: Living Goods supports community health workers with digital tools, training, and supply chains to deliver health products door-to-door in Africa. It is comparable as a CHW-focused organization in neighboring geographies, though more focused on product distribution than clinical care.

Others

• PATH: PATH is a global health innovation organization working on maternal, newborn, and child health, including in DRC, with focus on system strengthening and technology adoption. It is thematically adjacent to Amani as a funder/partner ecosystem member in the same MNCH space.

Regional players

• Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI): CHAI partners with governments in low-income countries to strengthen health systems, including in the DRC. While it operates more as a technical advisor than a direct service provider, it engages with similar government counterparts and patient populations.
