Forty Years Continuous Experience in Christian Child Welfare
For more than four decades, Alliance for Children has been working cross-denominationally within Church networks to care for orphans, outcast children and children in crisis.
From the early years of providing emergency rescue and child care on Native American Reservations, to 25 years of service as a licensed Child Placement and Adoption agency, ACE has recruited and trained Christians to open their hearts and homes to thousands of needy children in North America, Central and South America, and Africa. Drawing from these years of experience, ACE is uniquely situated to engage people, organizations and churches in the mandate to bring hope and help to orphans and children in crisis, principally in AIDS ravaged Africa.
"There is one institution on the earth today that has the resources, the expertise, the presence and the mandate to make an immediate and lasting difference in the lives of orphans and needy children. That institution, under the direction of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, is the Church. God created each child one by one. It is our responsibility, obligation, and opportunity to reach them, one by one."
Virginia "Jennie" Woods, Founder/Director Alliance for Children Everywhere
Continuous Evaluation
At the end of each year Alliance for Children Everywhere publishes a brief report of straightforward results. In it we number and document how many children receive which services, their situation before we helped, and their changed lives afterwards. Internal evaluation tools include a log frame of current and future actions with person responsible, dates, and costs. This work plan is reviewed bi-annually by the board of directors and includes board and management recommendations to better achieve our mission.
We welcome and value evaluation and input from a variety of professionals. In spring 2009, Dr. Deb Sturtevant (Hope College, Michigan) and Dr. Jane Wimmer (Dalton College, Georgia) undertook an
exhaustive scientific evaluation of the Milk and Medicine Program. Click here to read their report.
