Healthy Births In Haiti
ICC hopes to provide every expecting mother in our program area with a healthy birth kit that will protect her and the newborn against the common causes of death during the delivery process, and to involve the mother and child in a Sante Fanmi, a Health Family, of neighbors, relatives and professionals who will work to ensure the child will grow up healthy.
Child to Child
At ICC, we believe that children make effective partners in our missions. To encourage this, we developed the Child to Child mission curriculum to help kids become “mission minded” as they follow God’s call to serve others in love.
Each installment in the Child to Child curriculum series contains five complete lesson plans full of ideas for learning together, including: Read more »

In-Kind Donations
International Child Care makes every effort to purchase items locally to stimulate the economies in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, but we do accept gifts of healthy birth kits, personal care kits, and handmade gowns and cloth diapers for the children at Grace Children's Hospital.
Integrated Community Health
Empowering an entire community to care for the health of its children is powerful, effective and sustainable. International Child Care partners with the community to advance health and wellness through education, health promotion, child health clinics, immunization programs, traditional birth attendant training, and micro-enterprise projects
Microenterprise for Women
Breaking the cycle of poverty can start with one small loan. As an extension of International Child Care's health work, a Micro-Enterprise initiative was developed in the late 1980s to help release women and their children from poverty's grasp. Today, ICC has eleven existing Micro-Enterprise groups, averaging ten women each, as part of the Integrated Community Health Program in northern Haiti and is currently expanding to other regions.
