WHAT WE DO
Lasting change starts with local action
We support children facing poverty, violence, abuse, discrimination, and life on the streets. Together with trusted local partners, we help children access protection, education, emotional care, family support, and safer communities.
Safety, care, and child protection
We help children access protection systems, safer homes, and practical support when they are at risk of abuse, violence, or exploitation.
Access to school and learning
We support formal education, non-formal learning, and vocational opportunities so children can build safer and more independent futures.
Families and communities
We tackle the root causes of child poverty by strengthening family support, local services, and the communities around each child.
WHERE WE WORK
Working alongside local partners across four regions
Our programmes are rooted in local knowledge and shaped by the needs of children and families in each community.
Supporting children, families, and communities through local programmes.
Partnering with organisations that expand protection, education, and opportunity.
Supporting children through community programmes and long-term partnerships.
HOW WE WORK
Built on trust, led by communities
We develop projects with local partners who understand their communities best. ICT helps strengthen their capacity through funding, programme support, shared learning, and strategic connections that create long-term, practical solutions for children.
Local knowledge
Partners understand the daily realities children face in their own communities.
Long-term partnerships
We build relationships that support lasting progress rather than short-term fixes.
Sustainable solutions
Funding, skills, and shared learning help local organisations grow their impact.
From exclusion to opportunity
Long-term, partner-led support can transform a child’s access to education, stability, and hope. A child-focused, partner-led programme can transform access to education,
stability, and hope.
Proven Impact. Trusted Partnerships.
ICT works with grassroots and community-led organisations across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. We receive more requests for support than we can currently meet, and our partners come to ICT for funding, programme expertise, new skills, strategic connections, and international visibility for their work.
Together, we help children and families access essentials like health, sanitation, education, and child protection — while using evidence, learning, and lived experience to improve outcomes over time.
One example is our partnership with Chiedza Child Care Centre in Zimbabwe, where we helped 1,800 families build sustainable businesses so parents could afford to send their children to school.
The project helped 2,645 children return to school, received an A+ score from UKAid, and was recognised with the First Prize Award in 2019 from the Heart of England Rotary District International Award.
This is what long-term, community-led partnership can achieve.
