Our programmes
Education support
ACA provides education support for vulnerable children giving them an opportunity to learn and dream. Our programmes aim to prepare each child who can access our services with the skills and knowledge required to assume adulthood, including activities that will make the community a better place.

Sustainable livelihood support
One of our stated objectives is to assist the families of foster children to become more self sufficient. To this end, we encourage foster families to start income generating projects, small businesses, crafts, and better agricultural productivity by providing short term training, start up tools & resources/raw materials which can allow them to become self reliant

HIV/AIDS MITIGATION
