WHERE WE WORK

Alliance for Children Everywhere (ACE) has been working with vulnerable children and families in Zambia since 1998.

Our work began during the HIV/AIDS crisis, when thousands of children lost the care of their parents and families. At that time, ACE operated two crisis nurseries to meet an urgent need. As global research and experience began to demonstrate that children do best in safe, loving families whenever possible, we decided to transform our approach.

Today, ACE works with families, communities, and government partners across Zambia to help children grow up in safe, stable, and nurturing homes. We provide parenting support, mental health services, foster care, family reunification, adoption services, and opportunities for families to strengthen their financial stability. By helping families overcome the challenges that can lead to separation, we work to ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow up surrounded by the love, care, and support of a family.

Since 2020, ACE has worked alongside communities in Malawi to help children grow up safely in loving families.

Our work began by helping orphanages transition from residential care to family-based care. Today, we partner with churches, community leaders, schools, local organizations, and government agencies to support vulnerable children and strengthen families in communities in and around Lilongwe.

Together with our local partners, we provide child protection services, mental health support, foster care, parenting support, and opportunities for families to improve their economic stability. By addressing the challenges that place children at risk, we help families stay together whenever it is safe to do so and build stronger communities where children can thrive.
