With over 40 years of service, we’ve learned to work with local partners to maximize the impact of our donors. We buy locally and distribute locally through the recommendations of our partners in country. This strategy eliminates waste and benefits their local economy. Our approach is significantly more difficult, but the benefits are significantly more meaningful. Since 1978, ICF has come to the aid of children in need worldwide. The monetary and material gifts of our donors have helped us distribute life-saving food, clothing, medical clinics, animal husbandry and medicine across the African continent. We have also supported the construction of orphanages, churches, schools and vocational training centers, drilled water wells to provide safe drinking water, and established agricultural projects. You won’t find many organizations like International Children’s Fund. We combine four unique elements to efficiently deliver vital aid to those in areas of greatest need. In 2022 we sent 99.6% of donations to the intended!
