ACF stands strongly on its three core principles which are to teach, protect and guide all children. We were established to ensure that children/youth are protected in their home countries by supporting their rights of access to education, healthcare, and shelter. Our main mission as a foundation is to ensure and provide a happy and safe environment where children/youth can learn and grow. Our vision is to build children centers in West African countries to house abandoned children/ youth, our centers will be a safe place for individuals to express and be themselves. Our programs and initiatives are centered around five key focus areas: Education, Health, Gender Equity, Economic Stability, and Empowerment. Each initiative addresses one or more of these essential pillars.
