Who We Are

African Child Trust (ACT) supports the education of disadvantage children and orphans.


ACT's vision is to relieve poverty and advance development in Africa by educating disadvantaged children and orphans and supporting needy widows through training so that they can generate income to sustain their families.

 

We provide funding to help pay for child schooling and to provide necessary support for the widow and her family. In many countries access to education is not free or affordable for the poor. This practical demonstration of caring brings hope to the children and the widows and contributes to breaking the long-term cycle of poverty

 

ACT works mainly within communities in Africa where there is a need to support the vulnerable, the weak and the poor. We work in partnership with well-established community-based organisations which include Churches and Schools that share a common vision of supporting people in need and have the capacity to operate well managed and comprehensively monitored projects.


Donate now. Make a difference to a needy child and family.
