International Children's Aid Network
Quoting the landmark 2004 World Bank report, Reaching Out to Africa’s Orphans: “the number of orphans [in Sub-Saharan Africa] is growing at an alarming rate” . . . “resources are limited” . . . and “there is still no blueprint on the best way to scale up interventions.”
Today, ICAN is creating such a “blueprint” in and for Sub-Saharan Africa, where more than half of the world’s orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) live – and where the scourge of AIDS has more than doubled the ratio OVCs to all children during the past decade.
Founded and managed by business professionals and former U.S. Marine Corps officers, ICAN is using the classic nine principles of warfare to establish a peaceful “beachhead” on the African Continent. These time-proven principles can be relied upon to assure victory in the key initial battles, create the critical path and build the momentum needed to ultimately win the war against child abuse, neglect and sacrifice unprecedented in the history of the world.
ICAN is a ‘501-C3’ not-for-profit organization. But our strategy is based firmly on a free-enterprise model to help Africans – and especially African children – survive and prosper in the years ahead.

I am an orphan, a street child, a laborer, or a child soldier. There are millions like me in Africa today. Thousands more are orphaned, abandoned, exploited, or worse every day. Now we are simply children of the Earth. Many of us will survive somehow. Maybe we will meet you one day.
