From America to Africa, ours is a family love story spanning decades, continents, and cultures.
Since starting work in Africa in 1998, ACE has refined a paradigm for family-based care recognized by governments throughout Africa. Today, ACE is a partnership between Africans and Americans who work every single day to keep children with their families in the face of overwhelming circumstances.
Today, over one hundred Zambian leadership and staff members execute our mission as ACE Zambia, with governance by a Zambian board of directors. Our U.S. team works closely with ACE Zambia to operate our consulting services as ACE Transition Partners.
We bring our diverse expertise toward a shared mission: to bring vulnerable children into secure families, schools and communities.
Our Partners
Together, we make a difference that lasts generations. Our work is supported by local and international agencies, businesses, foundations, churches, and our faithful donor base.
