Through the provision of healthcare, education, good food, shelter and trade training, ICT's projects in Cambodia, Kenya, Sri Lanka and India offer some of the world's most marginalised children hope for a bright future, a chance to realise their dreams, and the ability to enter adulthood with skills and ambition.

ICT also works with the communities from which these youngsters are drawn, providing water and sanitation and good health care to mothers-to-be, as well as attacking the roots of poverty by initiating saving schemes and providing loans for enterprising youth and women.

If you are already making regular payments, then you are automatically a Friend of ICT, if not why not download the New Supporter form from the Offline Donations page to set up a standing order of your choice. Even a small contribution of just �2 a month will bring many smiles to children's faces. If you sign the gift aid form and you are a UK Tax Payer, the government will top up your contribution by approximately 28 pence for every pound you donate. That's right you get to tell the government where you want your money spent!

Of course you can always send payments by cheque or international transfer or make regular Online Donations.

Some of you may prefer to sponsor a child in one of our projects directly and enjoy regular news about his or her progress. Should this appeal to you then please phone us at 020 7065 0970 or email [email protected]. More information can be found in the Child Sponsorship section.

International Childcare Trust needs regular support to give security to young lives so that they develop into prospering adults and active citizens.

You will gain the pride and satisfaction of knowing you care enough to give.
