About Us

ACARE is a humanitarian non-profit based organization, which was founded in 2017 and is duly registered as an association under the Societies Act of Kenya (CAP 108). It is dedicated to transforming the lives of girls, young women, and vulnerable and orphaned children in Africa, Kenya, Turkana and Kakuma regions.

ACARE promotes the development of a literate, secure, healthy, gender-sensitive and peaceful society that fosters sustainable grassroots development. To this end, ACARE’s primary aim is to use literacy to promote socio-economic development and transformation in rural areas by addressing core community problems and challenges.

We foster literacy skills across the target age-groups, while paying particular attention to socially disadvantaged and vulnerable groups such as non-literate women and girls, HIV-positive people, out-of-school youth, orphans, vulnerable children and primary school pupils with poor literacy skills.
