The Island of Hope | #SolutionsInsideOut | Amani Global Works

In the heart of the Congo's remote Idjwi Island, Dr Jacques Sebisaho fulfils a childhood promise by spearheading the transformation of the local healthcare system. Motivated by this personal tragedy, he, along with his wife Mimy Mudekereza and the resilient community of Idjwi, established Amani Global Works. Through a network of trained Community Health Workers and clinics, they bring newfound hope and life-saving healthcare to the island's forgotten inhabitants. Now, their impactful work is spreading beyond the island to reshape healthcare on the mainland.
