Amani Family Services, Inc.

Amani Family Services, Inc. We partner with immigrant and refugee families and the community to promote safety, encourage personal growth, and foster a spirit of belonging.

The name Amani Family Services provides a strong opportunity to emphasize multicultural family services with a word, “amani,” which means peace in Kiswahili and aspirations or wishes in Arabic. It is also a recognition of the language spoken by the founder Dr. Saneta Maiko originally from Kenya. Amani Family Services is a private nonprofit organization serving more than 500 families and individuals from around the world who have made Allen County their home.
