At ACF, we believe in making a difference not only locally but also on a global scale. Through strategic partnerships, innovative programs, and a commitment to addressing global challenges, we are extending our reach and impact to communities around the world.
Our Women Entrepreneurship Programme has made significant strides in empowering women to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. Thanks to funding from Cardiff University, WCVA and NatWest, we have expanded this programme to Ghana and Saudi Arabia, providing women in these regions with the tools, resources, mentorship and support they need to succeed in business. Through partnerships with organisations such as CEED in Ghana and SBWA and Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University in Saudi Arabia, we are helping to create a new wave of female entrepreneurs who are challenging the economic norms, achieving financial independence, and driving economic growth and social change in their communities.
Our global footprint is not just an extension of our local efforts — it’s a bold declaration of our commitment to effecting change on a global scale. While our roots may be in local communities, we recognise that the challenges we face are not confined by borders. By extending our reach beyond our immediate surroundings, we amplify our impact and tackle global challenges with greater effectiveness.
Through strategic partnerships with organisations and communities in different countries, we leverage diverse perspectives, resources, and expertise to create sustainable solutions to complex problems. Our global presence enables us to share best practices, learn from others, and implement innovative approaches to address pressing issues such as economic inequality, gender disparity, and financial exclusion.
Economic inequality and financial exclusion are pervasive global issues that require collective action. As a philanthropic organisation committed to community support, we recognize the importance of addressing these challenges on a broader scale. By pooling our resources, sharing our knowledge, and collaborating with international partners, we aim to advance global economic growth and create a more equitable and inclusive world for all.
In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals — also known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs. Together, they form a plan to build a greener, fairer, better world by 2030, and we all have a role in achieving them.
Our involvement in global initiatives aligns with these SDGs, particularly in promoting gender equality, decent work and economic growth, no poverty, reduced inequalities, and sustainable cities and communities. By actively contributing to these global goals, we are not only fulfilling our mission but also making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and communities worldwide.
