When a young woman from South America arrived at AAU, she was struggling to overcome significant trauma and exploitation. Through integrated support with trauma-informed therapy, comprehensive case management, and consistent mentorship, she embarked on a healing journey.
AAU announced the launch of its "Invest to Impact: Investing Today for Thriving Tomorrow" end-of-year giving campaign. The initiative seeks community support to sustain and expand critical services as demand reaches unprecedented levels while resources for refugees and human trafficking victims are being reduced.
At just 23 years old, Mwamini brings a depth of compassion and wisdom beyond her years. Originally from Congo, she grew up in Burundi and lived in Malawi before coming to the United States with her family as refugees when she was about 11 years old. Utah has been home ever since. After earning her Bachelor of Social Work and a minor in Business Management from the University of Utah, she joined AAU, the very agency that helped her own family rebuild their lives.
