About ACT
ACT is a UK registered charity with the vision to support the education of disadvantaged children and orphans in women led households in Africa. Our aim is to enable them to reach their potential in life. We are empowering women and widows in need, through training, to generate income to sustain their families. Our aim is to break the cycle of poverty among poor people in Africa.
The community in Africa is central to our approach. We therefore work alongside partners that are best placed to recognise the households with the most need in their community. Typically, well established Christian churches and community-based organisations that share our vision of supporting people in need and have the capacity to operate well managed and comprehensively monitored projects.
We are currently working in Burkina Faso, Congo DR, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.
