Supporting windows and educating fatherless children and orphans in Africa

ACT is a charity that is providing education for fatherless children and orphans in Africa in order to improve their future and help free them from poverty. Find out more about how ACT is educating children and supporting needy widows in Africa.

Working in partnership with local communities in Africa

The community is central to the approach of ACT in funding the education of the children of widows in Africa. ACT is working in partnership with those who are best placed to recognise the families with the most need within the community.

These are well established local Christian churches, schools or other organisations who share the same vision of supporting people in need. Read about ACT partners and how we are helping communities in Africa.
