African Community Initiative Support
- African Community Initiative Support
African Community Initiative Support (ACIS) is a Kenyan-registered charity and NGO, run by Kenyans to serve Kenyans.
The main aim of ACIS is to help the poor in Kenya to improve their living standard by their own hard work, giving them the means to do so, whether it be a small loan (micro-finance), a savings scheme (SACCO), or more practical help.
ACIS endeavours to ensure that any help given to a family or community is ecologically sound.
ACIS also supports children's institutions that help orphans and children from the poorest backgrounds.
They are presently supporting the Mercy Gate Champion Children's Home in Kisii and the Silverstone Junior School, Watamu, by finding funds for building work and sponsors for the children.
