Just an amazing nonprofit. Amazing leaders at all the orphanages. I love what this non profit stands for so much that I created a song with all proceeds going to International Childrens Fund.

ICF is a volunteer-based organization that uses a network of dedicated indigenous ministers to provide humanitarian aid to desperately poor children and their families in Africa, India, and Pakistan. Its unique approach allows it to be highly efficient and effective delivering services to those in greatest need.

For more than 40 years this organization has been stretching each dollar of support to deliver the maximum amount of food, medicine, housing, water wells, training, and educational services. With more than 99% of expenses being spent on program services and only 1% on administration, donors know that their support is truly making a difference.

I am so fortunate to be involved in this wonderful organization.

For more than 40 years, ICF has been providing humanitarian aid to desperately poor children and their families.

ICF has a unique structure that allows it to be extremely effective at helping those in greatest need. It is volunteer based and operates through a network of indigenous pastors located within the villages that they serve in Africa and India. These pastors are committed to making a sustainable impact by delivering a broad range of services that sustain life (food, housing, and medicine) and that create self-sufficiency (agriculture, education, and micro-commerce).

The organization is committed to be good stewards of its resources, with less than 1% of expenses spent on administration and 99+% on program services.

In the over twenty years I’ve been associated with ICF, Dr. Brunning’s outstanding commitment and dedication to this mission has been exemplary. Because of volunteers, he has been able to keep sexpenses to an absolute minimum. The readiness to react to life threatening events has been exceptional. Additionally, food, clothing, medical supplies, drugs and other basic living needs are solicited at zero to very low cost. Distribution through channels he has established (avoiding graft, theft and other nefarious activities that would prevent free distribution of materials). Schools, and water wells are among the many building projects that the Fund has begun and continues to supplement for the enrichment of the the needy.

❤The International children's fund consists of an amazing group of people who really care about kids. I've worked with doctor Dave and his staff for 7 years. I can honestly say everyone gives their heart n soul to make sure the kids are taken care of. ❤Dave is a true humanitarian!! Traveling to Africa sounds physically exhausting not to mention traveling into the countryside to aid folks that dont have the luxury of running water or things that we take for granted. This is intense hard work in 100° temps, blood sweat n tears ... all in the name of children and saving lives! Wow...just wow! No Ritz Carlton in the villages that Dave and staff travel to. The international children's fund gives whole heartedly and without reservation.❤ Kudos to Dr D and staff - you are all amazing people!! Bless you all!❤

I have visited ICF headquarters many times in Neenah Wisconsin. The amount of aid that they provide the world is simply insane. Local companies donate and it gets shipped around the world. Dr. David Bruenning has created the best non for profit I have ever seen.

It is hard to properly rate this organization. I have followed and supported them since they started, and have watched them do more with donated resources than most (if not all). They have maintained a steady resolve to reach people who otherwise would not have been reached, and they help not only the body but the souls of those they touch. I have the utmost confidence an trust, and am amazed that they accomplish so much, without enriching themselves. Wish there were more like this!

I have been with ICF for over 15 years. It has been some of if not most blessed times of my life volunteering with ICF. The people I work with are/have the best spirit I have ever experienced. The work gets done with enthusium and fun and most of the times, there is never a dull moment. After work is done, the organization treats the volunteers to lunch as a token of appreciation for there support. It is truly, in my opinion one of the few of this kind that gets the most for the least!!! The donors are GREAT and are amazed at what gets done for the little amount of money that is spent for expenses. Truly frugal with their money.

International Children Fund is making great impact here in Liberia and We the Great Commission Victory Ministries International happens to be one of the volunteer organization of the which the ICF send donated goods to; for distribution.

We are witness of great things that is happening in lives of thousands of people whom benefit from the International Children's Fund donated relief goods. Homes have been feed, people have been clothed; villages, health centers, religious center, institutions as well as children, adult, disable people and the less privilege people have in some way benefited.

International Children's Fund relief goods are send directly to us and then we distribute these goods directly to the beneficiaries. It is more of their concern and care towards us that encourage us to go out and help!

Many God Continue to Bless The International Children's Fund

I am Pastor Boakai B. Paasewe ,senior pastor and founder of the Living Word Missions in Sanjanama Cape Mount rural Liberia.We continue to experience great transformation and the difference since we got divinely connected and started partnering with the International Children's Fund.We have a school building that was built by ICF and it is well equip with school supplies and we have trained teachers that are imparting knowledge to hundreds of unprivileged school going children who could not even speak or understand the English language.Today light has come to our county and hope for the future is made possible by the grace of God through the generosity of ICF.Great change and development can be seen physically as we continue benefit the from the water well ,multipurpose building and the boys and girls dormitories for boarding students and Ebola orphans who continue to receive food, clothes, shoes, medical and education supplies from ICF.
You (ICF) have put smiles on the faces of these Ebola orphans as you share the love of God with us in rural Liberia.BIG BIG THANK YOU Dr.David Bruenning and the ICF family.

This organization is my favorite non-profit!! I would trust them with anything and I have seen first hand only some of the things they have done for people not only in Africa and Haiti but locally as well. I can't imagine all they have done for people world-wide. I have the utmost respect for International Children's Fund and it's workers/ volunteers/ donors and I don't see any other organizations stepping up as much as they have.

By the grace of God,I (Rev.Boakai B.Paasewe of the Living Word Rural Ministries) have been partnering with ICF over 8 years .I'm so thankful to God for divinely connecting us with them and empowering us in helping to build schools ,churches, providing safe drinking water,building orphanage and reaching out with shipments of relief items to needy communities and institutions in the city and rural communities.The relief items such as food ,medical supplies,vehicles,clothing, and Christmas gifts are great blessings, transforming lives and building brighter future for thousands of unprivileged rural children and meeting the current needs of Ebola victims' children in communities that have been badly hit by this deadly viral disease.
International Children Fund serves with love, integrity and humility. I am greatly honored to support ICF!

I believe in ICF 100% because the organization uses their resources fully. Anyone can donate food and medical supplies but ICF follows up to be sure the items donated are getting to the people with the most need. On a personal note, I donated a boat and was actually able to see it in photos and in a report that it was being used to help people in need! To know that what is given is being used by those that it is intended to is what I love about the organization. What a blessing and wonderful cause.

I have been volunteering for years at ICF. Great group of people. Example as of recent. The partners in Liberia re working directly to help feed the Ebola stricken people there so as a result shipping containers to the region have been going out at about the rate of one a week lately to keep supplies flowing. However the BEST part of all. Is the opportunity that they have on the ground to share the salvation found only thru Jesus Christ . Can I get an AMEN!!! :)

A friend clued me into ICF several years ago. I liked the notion that they can make use of many things that others will consider useless. (i.e. used but functional items from tools to crayons)
One day I was asked if I could give a hand to pick up some clothes from a nearby thrift store.
I volunteered when available back then now I arrange my schedule around the needs they may have whenever possible.
As I learned more of what is accomplished with so little overhead I was changed from a donor, to a volunteer, to an advocate.
If you have had any doubts as to the impact of this organization I will simply say to check it out a bit closer. You wont be disappointed.

I was so lucky to meet Lori at a small group. She was so amazing and kind! And I found out though a mutual friend she helps with ICF and I immediately wanted to help, I got to help once and wow was it fun we drove in this. Truck up to crivitz area to pick up books to deliver to Africa! It was so nice to know instead of the landfill children somewhere could use these books. ICF has a lot of amazing people volunteering there, you always feel like you have been there before! Love this group of people. I also like the brat frys! A and w fundraiser nights!

I have been involved with this organization for about 2 years, I have found it to have a love for those they help, and show respect and compassion to all. They are a fun group, yet hard working, very organized and have great relations with other organization they work with to be able to complete their ministry unto the Lord Jesus. They are people of prayer and dedication. I have somewhat known the director, David B. for more than 20 yrs, and find him and this organization faithful in Christ. I so much enjoy being apart of this group.

I have always been very cautious of charities or organizations. The whole pretense of what is said and what really happens too my hard earned money that i want too see do more good for others, ends up in the pockets of the top people in the organization..and helps them build million dollar homes. But that turns me too the reason why i am writing this today. At a time when i was travelling around the US i was able too see many organizations of various types at work. But i had never seen an organization with such a broad understanding of what the needs of so many children under dire circumstances needed..From a piece of clothing too medicine, to a bowl of rice. From books to churches. And the ones that coordinate everything not only make the plans they travel too these destinations too make sure it does. The money goes where the money is stated. It is more than self evident. I would never give too another organization without checking into everything first. And i know IFC welcomes that you do that indeed. I proudly volunteer when i am able. And nothing can replace the joy in my heart when doing so... this is such an amazing organization fighting to provide the needs we here completely take for granted,,
