Our Programs
Community Cohension
AMIWI programming engages the community and encourages them to connect with each other and support each other in our adopted homes through events, conversations, and communication channels.
Community Welfare
For newcomers to the US who do not speak English, navigating community resources can feel overwhelming and isolating, as even basic tasks require understanding unfamiliar systems and terminology. This challenge is especially difficult for Kinyarwanda speakers, whose language is rarely included in community navigation materials, creating significant barriers just to access essential services.
Community Integration
We encourage members to participate, integrate and contribute to their new home while sharing their Kinyarwanda culture with the Greater Milwaukee area through language, dances, and milestone celebrations.
​
We are proud to showcase and celebrate the rich Kinyarwanda culture and build appreciation with the Milwaukee community.
About Us & Our Community
AMIWI is led by a team of community Champions and volunteers with passion, drive and initiative.
