OUR IMPACT
HELP OTHERS
BY HOLIDAYING WITH US
We call it "Experiences with Impact". That means we ensure that all the income we get from you, our guests, contributes towards lasting support for the local population. All overnight stays as well as activities or excursions booked through Africa Amini Life directly benefit the social, medical and educational projects of Africa Amini Alama.
This is where experiences can truly make a difference for all concerned. You are welcome to visit all of our projects free of charge during your stay.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
In 2008, Christine Wallner set up a new medical practice in Tanzania, more specifically in the small town of Momella. The practice built on her interest in traditional healing and ethnic medicines. She founded Africa Amini Alama and built an infirmary, schools and workshops for carpenters, bricklayers and mechanics.
Her daughter Cornelia Wallner-Frisee joined her two years later and together they run this charitable organisation. Each project is managed by local people to achieve long-term self-reliance. More than 200 employees treat around 100 patients every day and look after around 1000 children.

We believe change begins in the next generation.

There are currently three primary schools and three secondary schools.
