ZAMBIA

Alliance for Children Everywhere (ACE) has been serving vulnerable children and families in Zambia since 1998. What began as a response to the needs of children in Zambia has grown into a movement focused on keeping families together. Over the years, ACE has transitioned from crisis nurseries to a family-based care model, in line with Zambia’s national care reform and global best practices. Today, ACE works across Zambia's high-risk communities to prevent family separation, reunify children with their biological families, or when reunification is not possible, find permanent, loving homes through kinship care or other family-based alternatives. ACE Zambia also empowers families through parenting classes and economic strengthening initiatives by helping caregivers build resilience and children grow up in safe, loving, and stable homes.

 

THERE ARE OVER ONE MILLION ORPHANED CHILDREN IN ZAMBIA.

While institutions can provide children with life-saving rescue, they cannot replace the love of a secure, permanent family.

Studies show that institutionalized children do not develop the secure attachments needed to form a healthy sense of self and trusting relationships. Instead, institutionalized children face lifelong higher risks of exposure to illness, abuse, and poverty compared with children raised in secure families. That is why our programs protect families in crisis; restore orphaned children to family; and strengthen communities through economic empowerment and education.
