These people really DO have a heart for their mission. They do not try and make themselves rich, but instead try hard to make every donation go as far as possible.

I have seen this organization grow over 35 years. I personally know the founder, and canstate that this is one of the best organizations I know. This group sends more aid and help for each dollar than any other I know, and uses people who are already citizens of each country they help. They are especially good at getting donated supplies and equipment to those who need. NONE of their gifts end up on the black market being re-sold. They have gotten commendation letters from leaders of those countries as well. If you are looking to help Africa (especially), and want your money to go to where it will help, rather than an expensive head office, salaries, etc. then this is the place to give!

I have been involved with ICF for more than 35 years. I can tell you I have never heard of or scene another non-profit organization do so much good with so little finances. Most every thing shipped out is donated or bought very reasonably. The volunteers are phenomenal and there are only two paid employee. God has blessed ICF greatly. This is an organization worth supporting!

I can not think of any changes that would be needed at this time.
I was browsing on the Charity Navigator site and found International Children's Fund. I was so impressed by reading the Presidents salary - a mere $28,000 per year.
I love knowing the donation I give is going directly to those it is meant for.
