Who we are
We are an NGO established in 1973 working for the betterment of the poor and empowering the community so that they can become socially & economically independent.




At the Association for Christian Thoughtfulness (ACT), our passion for people drives us to bring meaningful and lasting change in the lives of vulnerable and marginalized communities. For more than 50 years, we continue to take inspiration from our founder, towards our our commitment to community transformation, collaboration, and sustainable development.
From working directly with a few communities to empowering more than 20 communities today, our journey has evolved over the decades. Since the 1990s, we have focused on strengthening communities to lead their own development, recognising that lasting change comes from local ownership and collective action.
We believe that transformation is strongest when we work together. Through partnerships with community organisations, like-minded individuals, and government, ACT helps people access essential services, legal documents, healthcare, and government welfare schemes and entitlements. With pride, we see that around 40% of the communities we have workers with continue the development journey independently, demonstrating the lasting impact of collective effort and community empowerment.
