Welcome to Alternative ChildCare Alliance
The journey of the Alternative Children Care Alliance (ACCA) began in 2011 when the Child Survival Centre hosted the first East African Orphan Summit. This pivotal event brought together stakeholders who shared a common vision of addressing the plight of orphans and vulnerable children in the region. The summit sparked the formation of a network dedicated to promoting alternative family care as a sustainable solution for children in need.
Dream. Join. Impact.
Following the success of the summit, the network grew in scope and ambition. In 2013, the Child Survival Centre organized the Child Adoption Conference, which further solidified the commitment to child protection and family-based care. These efforts culminated in the formal registration of ACCA in October 2017 as a non-profit organization under Kenyan law.
Today, ACCA stands as a vibrant consortium of over 20 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) united by a shared mission to make Kenya a safe and nurturing environment for all children. Our work is guided by international treaties, the Constitution of Kenya 2010, and the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). We advocate for policies and practices that prioritize the best interests of children, ensuring they grow up in loving and supportive families.
Be the Difference:
Foster Care
We believe every child deserves the love and stability of a family. If you feel called to open your home and heart, we invite you to consider fostering. We are currently recruiting families willing to offer care to vulnerable children. With a specific number in mind, we aim to organize effective training sessions for those who step forward. Take time to pray and seek God’s guidance—this may be the ministry you were meant for. If you feel led, register your name and be part of this life-changing mission.
Believe. Engage. Transform.
Every Child Deserves a Future
Through advocacy, education, and community-based support, we strive to create lasting change in the lives of those children who need it most.

We are dedicated to supporting orphaned and vulnerable children by providing consistent care, protection, and hope for a brighter future.

Our work is grounded in the belief that every child deserves the chance to feel valued, supported, and loved, regardless of their background or situation.
Through faith-driven initiatives and community partnerships, we seek to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of every child we serve. From access to shelter, food, education, and healthcare, to emotional healing and moral guidance, our programs are designed to nurture the whole child. We believe that by surrounding them with kindness and consistency, we help lay the foundation for healing and resilience. Together, we can create environments where these children are not only safe but also encouraged to dream, grow, and pursue their God-given potential.
