At ICT we partner with local organisations that take an integrated approach to child development, combining the delivery of practical assistance with capacity building and advocacy initiatives. Both the effects and the causes of child poverty are addressed by using this integrated approach because, at ICT, we take responsibility for building sustainability into the projects we support.

Practical assistance includes supporting direct benefits to disadvantaged children, their families and communities, e.g., primary health care, income generation schemes, vocational training and rehabilitation of children back into families and communities. We encourage capacity building in all the projects that we support, so that our partners are able to grow into strong organisations in their own right and not become dependent on us. Advocacy initiatives are supported, so local communities and governments in Africa and Asia become aware of their rights and take responsibility for addressing their own problems.

child protection training to local businesses in Sihanoukville (Cambodia), such as hostels, tuk-tuk drivers and internet cafes, to enable them to recognise and report child abuse/suspicious behaviour and help protect local children from dangerous situations.

the annual salary of a teacher at Kalki Drop-in Centre in Pondicherry – who helps provide remedial/life skills education for up to 300 street children each day.

medical check ups, basic treatment & hospital referrals for 150 children living with HIV/AIDS in Tanzania each year.
