International Child Resource Institute, a nonprofit organization, works to improve the lives of children and families around the world. We emphasize early childhood care and education, children’s rights, empowerment of women and girls, maternal/child health, and grassroots community development. ICRI only goes where we are invited, and all programs advance local leadership and promote community collaboration. Since 1981, the year ICRI was founded, we have developed or operated over 300 programs in over 50 countries, with the goal of empowering the village to raise the child.
