Our mission is to serve God by serving people, bringing the love of Christ to those who need it most through concrete acts of care, solidarity, and hope.

We believe our faith must be reflected in our actions.

That's why we work so that a child can have food, medical care, education, and companionship; so that a mother going through a difficult situation knows she is not alone; and so that a family can find support and new opportunities.

Our work is in God's hands, and every person who decides to support it becomes part of this mission.

Yes. ICI is a Christian nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the people and communities that need support the most.

Our work is possible thanks to God and the generosity of people, churches, organizations, businesses, and partners who decide to believe in this mission and contribute to making it possible.

Every donation represents much more than a financial resource. It's an opportunity to bring help where it's lacking, hope where there is hardship, and love where there is often loneliness.

Child sponsorship comes from something very simple: a person decides to care about a child's wellbeing and future and becomes part of their story.

Through our programs, churches, care centers, and partnerships, we identify the needs of children and their families to provide them with comprehensive support and companionship.

Our sponsors' resources help meet needs such as:

❤️ Nutrition and wellbeing · 🩺 Health care and follow-up · 📚 Education and development · 🤗 Companionship and care · 💌 Encouragement and support · ✨ Values and hope formation

But sponsorship is much more than financial help. It's telling a child: "Your life matters. God loves you. There are people who believe in you and want to see you grow."

With the support of our sponsors, we can keep reaching more communities and offering opportunities that can make a real, lasting difference.

You can become a child's sponsor with a contribution of $45 a month.

Your contribution can help provide a child with health, education, nutrition, companionship, and hope. An opportunity to change a life forever.

However, we know each person has different means, and every contribution counts. That's why you can also support our mission through:

💙 Monthly donations · 💛 One-time donations · 🎁 Special donations · 🏡 Donations for a specific program · 🏗️ Donations for particular projects · ❤️ Contributions for special needs in our communities

The size of your gift doesn't matter. When we give with love and put our resources in God's hands, we can be instruments to bring hope to those who need it most.

Our desire is that every child in our programs can feel special, accompanied, and valued.

When a child knows that someone cares about them, prays for them, writes to them, or looks out for their wellbeing, they can experience something deeply meaningful: feeling that they are not alone.

Every message, word of encouragement, congratulation, or gesture of affection can become a source of motivation and hope.

Because sponsoring isn't just giving money. It's building a bond. It's walking alongside a child. It's believing in them. It's reminding them that their life has value and that God has a purpose for it.

We understand that when a person decides to entrust their resources to an organization, they are also placing their trust in it.

That's why, for ICI, financial integrity is not optional: it is a core principle and a non-negotiable policy of our organization.

We believe that all the resources we receive are a responsibility God has placed in our hands, one we must manage with honesty, responsibility, transparency, and excellence.

As part of our commitment to our donors and to God, every year we prepare and present our Financial Integrity Report, in which we share how the funds we receive are managed and distributed, as well as the programs carried out and results achieved during each period.

We want our partners and donors to know not only how their contributions are used, but also what impact we are achieving together.

Because behind every donation there is an act of trust. And we care for that trust with responsibility, transparency, and reverence for God.

Your contribution can help cover needs that may seem simple to many, but can make a huge difference in a child's life. It can help a child gain access to:

❤️ Nutrition and wellbeing · 🩺 Health care and follow-up · 📚 Education and learning opportunities · 🤗 Companionship and care · 💌 Words of encouragement and support · ✨ Values, faith, and hope

But perhaps one of the greatest impacts is something that can't always be measured: making a child feel that they are not alone. That someone cares about them. That someone believes in their future. And, above all, that God has not forgotten them.

Yes. We believe companionship can go far beyond a financial contribution.

A word of encouragement, a message, a birthday greeting, or simply letting them know someone is thinking of them can become a very special moment.

For a child going through difficult circumstances, knowing that someone cares about their life can become a source of encouragement, security, and hope. Every gesture of affection can remind them: "You matter. You are valuable. Someone believes in you."

We want our donors to be able to know and understand the reality of the communities where we carry out our work.

That's why we look for spaces and experiences that allow people to get closer to our mission, always respecting the privacy, safety, and wellbeing of the children and their families.

Because when we get to know the communities, we understand that behind every number there is a face, a family, a story, and a dream.

ICI currently carries out its work in 6 communities across different parts of Ecuador, mainly in places with significant social and economic needs.

In these communities we have established and strengthened our presence through churches and care centers, from which we run various support and accompaniment programs.

Today, with God's help and the support of our donors, partners, and collaborating organizations, we have the opportunity to walk alongside approximately: 👧 2,350 children · 👩 345 mothers · 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 80 families.

And our work reaches many more people through various community initiatives: medical brigades, home visits, distribution of food rations and essential supplies, and other actions aimed at meeting families' urgent needs.

We also run a school where we provide quality education to an average of 500 children, because we believe education is one of the most important tools for opening doors and building new opportunities.

Our work doesn't end at handing out help. We want to be present, to accompany, to serve, and to walk alongside communities, and our desire is to keep growing to reach more places.

Because we believe we should be where the need is.

Many of the communities where we work face economic hardship, lack of opportunity, and needs that directly affect children and their families. That's why we chose to be present.

We have planted churches and established care centers so we can carry out our programs closely and consistently. We don't want to simply visit a community and hand out help. We want to build relationships, walk through processes together, and journey alongside people.

There are many ways to be part of this mission. You can:

❤️ Sponsor a child with $45 a month  ·  💛 Make a one-time donation  ·  🎁 Make a special donation  ·  🏡 Support one of our programs  ·  🏗️ Contribute to a specific project  ·  🤝 Become a partner of our work  ·  🙏 Pray for our children, mothers, families, and communities  ·  📢 Share our mission with others

You don't need to do something extraordinary to make a difference. Sometimes a small act of generosity can become a great answer for someone who is praying for help.

Because behind every contribution there is an opportunity. An opportunity for a child to receive care. An opportunity for a mother to know she is not alone. An opportunity for a family to have hope.

An opportunity for a child to study, grow, and dream of a different future. And, above all, an opportunity for us to keep being the hands and feet of Christ in service to those who need it most.

Your support of $45 a month can give a child health, education, companionship, and hope. An opportunity to change a life forever.

Be part of this mission. Give. Sponsor. Pray. Share.
Together, hand in hand with God, we can go further.
