Lasting change, led by African communities  The poorest families, women, youth and children in Kenya and Tanzania face poverty, food insecurity, sexual violence, lack access to education and many basic rights. They live in hard to reach, remote rural areas where government services are limited or do not exist.  Our African based staff and thousands of local volunteers are part of the communities they serve. Projects are defined by local needs and research-based.  Working in Kenya since 2003 and in Tanzania since 2008, we build lasting partnerships with the community, government and local organisations. Ace Africa has improved the health, income, education and rights of more than 2 million of the most vulnerable adults and children in East Africa.
