sicf-banner

  • Sectarian violence and terrorism in Iraq has taken a devastating toll on hundreds of thousands of Iraqi orphans and street children.
  • To care for these extremely vulnerable kids, SICF supports direct services of healthy food, tutoring, play, and loving care for emotional needs.
  • SICF is invested in training Iraqi adults with tools to address trauma and PTSD in orphans and delivered one ton of school supplies, stuffed animals and clothes for Iraqi orphans.

    • SICF is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity devoted to assisting the families and communities of Iraq by mobilizing a Campaign of Love for orphans and street children after years of war and violence.  We are committed to doing this under the leadership of the Iraqi people by serving as a catalyst to mobilize US and international partners, investing in training and capacity building of Iraq’s NGOs and community organizations, and emphasizing direct aid for hand up, not hand out, initiatives.

    SICF began its work as a humanitarian assistance organization, offering concerned Americans as well as Iraqis an opportunity to take concrete action to help orphans.  Mobilized by SICF, caring Americans in the United States, at the US Embassy, and other organizations helped collect and distribute food, medicine, school supplies, backpacks, shoes, and other humanitarian supplies.

    In 2009, SICF was officially granted 501(c)(3) tax exempt status by the IRS.

    Since 2009, SICF has launched several initiatives to help orphans and street children, including:

    –Cosponsored a conference on orphans in Baghdad

    –Developed, with the Children’s Village of New York, a “Community Care Worker” (CCW) training program to equip Iraqis to care for orphans with trauma and PTSD

    –Provided monthly support for a year to orphans living in the City Dump

    –Mobilized a “Surge of Love” flight, with FedEx support, to deliver a ton of school supplies, stuffed animals, and clothes from American donors to orphans in Iraq

    –Rescued a Street Children Center after donor funding ran out and reopened it so 50 street kids and orphans can get tutoring, meals, recreation and compassionate care.

    Your contribution will go towards the $720 needed to sponsor a child for six months.
