Our Vision

Inspired by the innate nature of the spirit to view each being as
equal, the vision at ACE is to serve youth communities by
discovering, innovating and working towards equal opportunities
for education of the spirit, mind and body, hence holistically
working towards equality within society.

Our Mission

Our mission at ACE is to work with children and young adults by being enablers to help create equal opportunity through education and creativity. Our primary goal is to work towards the inculcation of the love of learning and the joy of discovery; thereby empowering children to innovate and become life-long learners and doers.

We believe in free inquiry that empowers communities to collaborate and translate their learning into effective action, harbouring unity and harmony.

About

ALL CARE FOR EVERYONE

Education is a fundamental right for every child, yet many children don’t have this opportunity. ACE is a Non-Profit Organisation born from a passion for equality. Founded by Avantika Swali when she was 7 years old, ACE is committed to providing the opportunity of a loving education in a holistic environment so every child has the chance to reach his full inborn potential.

ACE stands for ‘All Care for Everyone’ and our goal is to serve communities in a spirit of inclusion and human welfare: to transmit hope, love, joy, equality and belonging. Together, we seek to be catalysts of universal love.

An organisation primarily run by children(11-17 years of age), ACE raises funds, by hosting sales of sustainable fashion merchandise and other fund raising initiatives, all proceeds of which go towards children’s education and welfare. ACE collaborates with several Non Profit Organisations like the Dharavi School in Mumbai and the Gift a Smile Foundation, and has sponsored the education of over 200 children to date.

“By education, I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in child and man, in body, mind and spirit.”

Most children in slums lack raincoats or protective gear, making it difficult for them to commute to schools, leading to high dropout rates. By providing them with high-quality raincoats, they stay dry and are protected this monsoon as they move about.
