African Children's Fund was founded in 2006 to support local initiatives to benefit under-served children. The projects supported are run by local staff who are committed to - and know the needs of - their own communities. ACF work with grassroots partners in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe in education and children’s rights. Helping children off the streets and into school gives them a chance to improve their lives and to create opportunities for a more prosperous future, free from poverty.
