The International Childcare Trust, also known as ICT, is an independent, non-governmental organisation; a children’s charity that exists for the purpose of relieving poverty, relieving sickness and advancing the education of children and young persons anywhere in the world who are in a condition of need, hardship or distress.

The organisation aims to achieve these objectives by designing, implementing and managing projects in conjunction with local people according to their needs and within the culture of the country of operation. Projects are managed and staffed by local people. (Source: [1])

[edit] Background

For 25 years, the International Childcare Trust has provided funding and advice to children’s projects in both Asia and Africa. In the past, the charity facilitated its work through branch offices in the countries where it works. In recent years, it has carried out projects through local partner organisations within those countries, such as the Vilpatti Village Project in India. (Source: [2])

The charity supports programmes that give deprived children the essentials they need to live their lives. It concentrates on providing the following:

  • food
  • shelter
  • primary health care
  • education

[edit] Operations

ICT has identified several hundred children in need of immediate assistance in Kenya, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, India and Cambodia. The charity has numerous projects in these countries, covering primary healthcare, educational and vocational programmes, rehabilitation centers for children displaced by conflict or disease such as HIV/AIDS, mobile support services for street children, income generation schemes for families and communities, and many other aspects of support.
