Access to Vital Supplies and Care Make an Impact on Survival in Africa
The Harvard Medical Review estimates that more than 8 million people die each year from easily treatable medical issues. In Africa, treatable medical issues like diarrhea kill more than 2,000 children per day, and malaria kills more than 400,000 people each year – the majority of which are under the age of 5. Medicines and medical services are often not available, or are too expensive for most people to afford.
Changing Lives by Providing Pharmaceuticals and Medical Care
ICF has been addressing this critical need by supplying pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and services to children and their families in rural Africa.
Thanks to your generous contributions, ICF supports transformative programs with clinics that provide medical services, pharmaceuticals, and devices that improve quality of life.
Our mission in Liberia operates a large clinic that has treated tens of thousands of patients since 2014, providing care for malaria, typhoid, maternal health, injuries, and more.
Additionally, we supply pharmaceuticals to multiple rural clinics that otherwise would have no access to critical medicines. These life-saving treatments cover illnesses from diarrhea to AIDS.
In Uganda, Pastor Kasharu is on track to treat 20,000 children this year with deworming medicine, combating parasites that steal childhood and health from vulnerable children.

Preventive and Corrective Supplies Improve Quality of Life
Simple solutions go a long way toward protecting children and families from parasitic pests.
- ICF distributes tens of thousands of treated mosquito nets to prevent malaria transmission.
- Our missions provide jigger eradication treatments, preventing infections and disability.
- Corrective eyeglasses equip children and adults to thrive in school, work, and daily life.
