Alliance for Children Everywhere is a nonprofit based in Seattle, Washington, that operates programs for orphaned and abandoned children in Zambia. The organization maintains a small team in the United States and a sizable staff in Zambia, collaborating with the Zambian government and a range of partners from global organizations, including faith-based groups. Its work focuses on family permanence, child welfare, and education, with an emphasis on empowering Zambians to care for their country. Zambia faces a large population of orphans and significant child welfare challenges, with UNICEF noting that the country had the highest number of orphans per capita in 2015, totaling about 1.4 million. ACE's Family Preservation program provides infant formula and food to families to prevent abandonment or starvation, and it partners with churches operating FaithWorks schools and the Helen DeVos Christian School to support education. The organization's model of partnership is recognized by national and world leaders and supported by diverse NGO partners and credible third parties.
