About us

Who we are

The Alternative Children Care Alliance (ACCA) is a dynamic coalition committed to transforming the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in Kenya. We believe that every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving, and supportive family environment. To achieve this, ACCA is dedicated to building robust networks with churches, faith-based organizations, and other like-minded institutions that share our vision.

Our alliance brings together a wealth of expertise in child protection, alternative family care, and community development. The organizations within ACCA include adoption agencies, legal experts, children’s rights advocates, children’s officers, faith leaders, and other strategic professionals. This diverse pool of knowledge and experience enables us to address the complex challenges facing vulnerable children with innovative and sustainable solutions.

ACCA is not just a network; it is a movement. We work tirelessly to empower our partners by offering both technical and spiritual expertise tailored to their specific needs. Whether it’s providing training, sharing resources, or fostering collaboration, we are committed to strengthening the capacity of organizations and individuals who are passionate about child welfare.

Through our collective efforts, we aim to create a society where no child is left behind, and every child has the opportunity to thrive in a family setting that nurtures their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Here is what we stand for

We prioritize the needs, rights, and well-being of children above all else, ensuring that every decision and action is guided by what is best for the child.

We approach our work with genuine care, empathy, and understanding for the experiences and challenges faced by children and their families, fostering a culture of compassion in all our interactions.

We recognize the power of collaboration and partnership in achieving our mission, actively seeking to work with diverse stakeholders, including NGOs, government agencies, communities, and families, to maximize our impact and effectiveness.

We celebrate and value the diversity of children and families we serve, promoting an inclusive and respectful environment where all individuals are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect, regardless of their background, ethnicity, religion, or socio-economic status.

We embrace innovation and adaptability in our approach to child care, continuously seeking new and creative solutions to address evolving challenges and needs, while remaining flexible and responsive to changing circumstances.

We are passionate advocates for the rights and well-being of children, working tirelessly to promote social justice, equity, and equality, and to challenge systemic barriers and injustices that impact children's lives.
