Our roots lie in lived experience. Amna was founded by a former refugee who transformed her own experience of displacement into a mission of healing and belonging. This founding story is not just part of our history, it defines who we are today. Today, Amna continues to be shaped by people with lived experience of displacement. From our Board of Directors and staff to our facilitators and trainers, we strive to promote refugee leadership throughout the organisation and embed lived expertise into everything we do.

For us, healing starts with our own team. This is why our approach to wellbeing is holistic and proactive-offering mental, emotional, social and financial support. We offer flexible working, generous leave, access to mental health support, and moments of collective rest.

We are committed to learning, both individually and collectively. Whether through on the job training or structured online and in-person learning spaces, we invest in the growth of our team. We offer dedicated time and annual allowance for personal development, online and in-person learning programs, including manager and leadership development, coaching and supervision for wellbeing and leadership and regular internal learning sessions to share and grow together. 

Amna is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees are valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disabilities status.
