Ace Next Gen (ANG) is our incredible group of young philanthropists who are paving the way in the world of international development. Passionate about development and on a mission to empower others to get involved to help change the lives of vulnerable children and their families across rural East Africa.

Throughout the summer 20 ANG members will be taking part in a fundraising challenge. In celebration of Ace Africa's 20 Year Anniversary, each participant will come up with their own unique challenge playing on the number 20. Be it, a supper club for 20, a 20 mile run, a 20 person relay or 20 sets of tennis...

Ace Africa works with remote, rural communities in Kenya and Tanzania where children live in fear of underage marriage, child labour and sexual violence. Schools, communities and local governments are urgently asking us to help. Below are some examples of the life changing projects your fundraising will make possible this year:

- Child School Clubs - a space for children to learn their rights and how to protect them

- Child Right Committees - trained groups of adult volunteers that children can reach out to in time of crisis in their communities

- The Ace Africa Football League - improving the physical and mental health and self-esteem of girls and boys through the power of sport

- Community Drama group performances - encouraging AIDs/HIV testing, fighting the stigma of the disease and supporting those affecting with counselling outlets

Every single penny raised through this ANG initiative will go directly to Ace Africa and contribute towards changing the lives of thousands of individuals. To see where your money will go click here to see (on the right) just a few examples.
