For the past two years, we have been able to house eight refugee friends in our women’s house, Emilie House. This project, the first of its kind we have undertaken, has meant that those who would otherwise be homeless have been able to rely on somewhere they can call home in a place which has increasingly become a community.

For some time, we have been hoping for a similar house to become available for men. We recently received the news that the Jesuits in Britain have facilitated this opportunity for us.

Preparations to open Amani House are underway, and we look forward to sharing further developments in the coming months.

Amani House comes equipped with most of the furniture and household items required to move our refugee friends into a comfortable home. We are however in need of a selection of items to complete our preparations before we can move residents into the house this coming winter.

If you have any of the below items you would be able to donate, we would be grateful. Please contact Amy-Leigh, Accommodation Project Coordinator, to arrange this.

If you do not have items to donate but would still like to contribute to making the house a home, you are more than welcome to buy items online and have them delivered directly to JRS at:

The Hurtado Centre, 2 Chandler Street, Wapping, London, E1W 2QT

Please label donations “for Amani House”.

The final date to get in touch to arrange a donation will be Monday 27^th November 2023.
