About ICC

International Child Care is a Christian health development organization. Operating in Haiti since 1967. ICC is working to change the conditions of poverty that impact health and well-being.

Our vision is health and wholeness for children and families in empowered communities.

Our mission is to respond to a loving God by promoting health and well-being for the children and families of Haiti through caring service and the education of others.

Statement of Faith: We recognize that our ministry of service in community is a God-given opportunity to be a witness to the love of Jesus-Christ toward suffering humanity, and to be a source of enrichment for those who serve and are served.

Our programs center around three goals:

  1. Prevent Illness among children and their families through immunization, oral re-hydration, vitamin A distribution, prenatal care, clean water projects, training of Traditional Birth Attendants and village- and church-based health promoters.

  2. Promote Health for children and their families through health education, pre- and postnatal care, reproductive health services, and growth monitoring.

  3. Restore Health for children and adults who have fallen ill through TB and HIV treatment, outpatient medical clinics at Grace Children's Hospital and curative care services through our Integrated Community Health projects.

We are committed to respect and ensure the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of children. We abide by the Convention's standards for health, education, legal, civil and social services for children.
