We will achieve our mission by providing street children individualized treatment, rehabilitation and transition opportunities, thereby creating productive adults. This mission includes enhancing and strengthening community. To achieve this goal, we will create a reproducible approach and a sustainable organization.
We believe a child should grow up in a family. We believe in an individualized approach to child development. We value spiritual development. We value local culture and norms. We value agriculture because of its sustainability. We believe in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child. We value innovative, results-based approaches.

Founder of Action for Children, Zambia. Carol sold her house in the U.S. and used the funds to move to Zambia to help street children.
The Board of Directors is based in Minnesota, but we have members across the United States.
"I first visited Mama Carol in 2007, and I've fallen in love with her kids and I'm proud of her respectful and effective program to bring street kids back into education and family life. I'm sitting in the living room of Salvation Home now with my nephew Nathan. I have 200 nephews here, each one a bright star."
"What an amazing place. It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to bring to Zambia as many clothes as we could to fit in our luggage allowance to give to the kids. The beaming smiles the kids gave us were great! Visiting Zambia and Action for Children - Zambia was the best thing I've done in my life, I would recommend it to anyone."
