- $3.5 million spent. During 2025, International Children's Care (ICC) provided funding, administrative support and supervision for the total care (e.g., food, clothing, medical, etc.) of over 400 orphan and/or vulnerable children. These children received care within children's villages and projects which ICC helped to fund and construct. ICC has provided support to projects in the following countries: Guatemala, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Romania, Ghana, DR Congo, India and Myanmar. Another important part of ICC's mission is to inform individuals about the plight of orphan children and how they may become involved in their care and support. We communicate by mail -- and digital channels -- not only to generate income and maintain our base of support, but to educate the public thereby advancing our mission. As a result, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidelines, we allocate a portion of our mailing costs to program services and to fundraising.
