Kids Care

Children are often the unseen victims of persecution. Every year, children are orphaned or left with scarcely enough provision to survive when their fathers and mothers are imprisoned or martyred for their faith. Other children live in communities where they are forced to live as second and third class citizens because their families are Christian. Our Kids Care fund is designed to meet the needs of these often overlooked little ones.

Orphans

In August 2008, Hindu extremists created a violent nightmare for Christians in Orissa, India. They burned Christian homes, murdered believers, and drove 50,000 Christians into the jungle. Many Christian fathers died in the violence, leaving wives unable to provide for their children.

An Orissa orphanage fully funded by ICC is meeting the needs of children who survived the violence. Seven-year-old Pritam is one such child. His father, Kabi, died after Hindu radicals beat him to unconsciousness. Pritam's mother, Rasmita, was unable to care for her six children after Kabi's death, and gave Pritam up to the care of ICC's orphanage.

Helping Children in Garbage City, Egypt

For generations, Egyptian Christians families have subsisted from salvaging items from the trash in Cairo's garbage slums. Most families make about $2 a day, living in extreme poverty with no education and no prospects for their children. By the time children reach kindergarten age, they are sent out to collect trash by night, while their parents sort through it in the day.

This generation of Christians children has an opportunity for education that their parents and grandparents never had. Thanks to two Christian kindergartens sponsored by ICC, 100 Christian kids will receive an education allowing them to get real jobs. They are also discipled, given clothes, medical care, and school supplies.
