Every child has the right to play, learn, grow.
ACE aims to transform the world into a place where all children and youths are free to shape their own lives and capable of building a society that they want to live in.
Ending child labour is one of our core strategic goals.
We believe that achieving this goal in the long-term requires addressing every level of the global supply chain. As such, we operate through international cooperation, supporting rural communities in Asia and Africa, collaborating with private corporations, and engaging in consumer education.
We are a Japanese NGO active in international advocacy to protect children from exploitation across the globe.
