Our mission is to demonstrate the love of Jesus by empowering, strengthening, and equipping vulnerable families and communities through physical, mental, and spiritual support.
OUR MISSION
Empowering Local Leadership
We believe sustainable change begins from within. That’s why we equip and empower in-country staff and leaders to lead the way in their communities.
Global Collaboration
We thrive through a strong alliance of international partners. We are working across cultures and continents to support vulnerable children and families.
Rooted in Local Faith Communities
We partner with trusted indigenous churches and community leaders who understand the culture, context, and needs of those they serve.
Impact, One Life at a Time
We measure success one life at a time through the transformation of each child, caregiver, and family we serve.
OUR VALUES
A Global Family that Spans Cultures, Generations and Continents
Since beginning work in Africa in 1998, Alliance for Children Everywhere (ACE) has developed a recognized and trusted model of family based care that is now embraced by governments across the continent.
Our work centers on one powerful idea: that every child belongs in a family. ACE’s approach equips individuals and communities to keep children with their families even when in the face of overwhelming challenges.
Today, ACE works with local leaders in both Zambia and Malawi to fulfill our mission: to demonstrate the love of Jesus by empowering, strengthening, and equipping vulnerable families and communities through physical, mental, and spiritual support.
This work is made possible through deep collaboration between our local teams in Africa and our global teams in the United States and the UK.
Together, we bring diverse experience, expertise, and unwavering dedication to a shared vision: to see vulnerable children thriving in secure families, schools and communities.
