 Growing up in Congo, the grim reality of war has long been a part of Amani's life. In 2006, two of his cousins, like many other women in Congo, were raped and abducted. Amani decided to do something to help them begin to heal, and regain their independence and self-esteem. He created a sewing workshop for them as a means to learn a valuable skill and be able to focus on something other than the atrocities they had suffered. The workshop was a big success and soon other women from the community began to join.
