Our Programs
International Child Advancement counters deep-seated cultural norms in the Democratic Republic of Congo by providing safe living environments, equitable access to education, economic empowerment programs, and mentorship for orphaned children. Meanwhile, in Buffalo, NY, we empower refugee, immigrant, and underserved youth through education support and life skills programs, bridging the gap between challenges and opportunities while fostering a more inclusive community.
By partnering with local organizations that share our vision, we address poverty, language barriers, and educational inequities, enabling children in both regions to reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience. Together, we are paving the way for stronger communities and a brighter future for the next generation of leaders.
Equitable Education
Empowering underserved students with equitable education by removing financial barriers and providing critical resources—we pair orphans in the DRC with educational sponsors for K-12 and higher education, and offer scholarships in Buffalo, NY to ease academic expenses—while supplying backpacks and school supplies to support success.
