The Good News
Stories and news from International Children’s Fund.
May 2023 Monthly Letter Medical Clinics
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 2.9 million children under the age of 5 die in sub-Saharan Africa annually. This is equivalent to 5 children under the age of 5 dying every minute. They estimate that two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes like pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria.
April 2023 Monthly Letter Mothers in Africa
In rural Africa, the care that a Mother provides to her children is often at the expense of their own. When there is not enough food, the children eat, and Mothers often go hungry. When there is a shortage of medication, Mothers go without.
March 2023 Monthly Letter | Orphanages
The International Children’s Fund (ICF) was created more than 40 years ago with the singular goal of helping desperately poor children. Our objective has always been to help these children survive, by providing them food and shelter, and then prosper, by providing them access to the education and training to help lift them out of poverty.
Year in Review – 2022
With your support during 2022, we were able to make an incredible impact. Watch the video to listen to Dr. David list off our accomplishments for this year.
Christmas Around the World in 2022
Our supporters, volunteers, and ministry partners certainly put a lot of love into giving at Christmas and throughout the year. I share two stories of Christmas at our missions last year and how, thanks to your generous support, we are favorably impacting the lives of those who need us the most.
Caring Hands of Local Communities
These pastors are responsible for everything from local feeding programs to the construction of orphanages; from drilling water wells to the delivery of food to a remote village; from conducting educational programs to managing a medical clinic.
Sustainable Food Supplies
My Brother’s Keeper Orphanage in Liberia has implemented extensive farming and animal husbandry programs. From tilling the field (by hand), to planting, to feeding the pigs – its hard work and everyone has a role to play.
Education For Everyone
ICF is committed to make a sustainable improvement in the lives and communities that we serve. As such, providing education is a core activity. We support educational programs at all our missions.
Water Is Life
In Africa, villagers often rely on surface water (streams, ponds, or even puddles) for water. These sources of water are also used for bathing, washing, and for livestock. As a result, the water is often tainted and not suitable for drinking.
Feeding Those In Need
With your help, the International Children’s Fund provides more than 1.5 million meals per year to desperately poor children and their families. We buy rice, meat products, beans, gari, cornmeal, and powdered milk locally.
