Guided by Vision. Grounded in Service. United in Purpose.
At the heart of ACTS is a team of dedicated educators, thinkers, mentors, and social visionaries who lead with humility and serve with conviction. Our leadership is not defined by titles, but by the lives we touch and the communities we uplift.
With decades of experience in education, development, and social innovation, our team continues to carry forward the legacy of ACTS with passion, faith, and purpose.
