International Christian Concern for Development (ICCD)

Hope, dignity and opportunity for Uganda's most vulnerable.

Empowering refugees, women, and vulnerable communities across Uganda — in partnership with the Anglican Church of Uganda.

Our Mission

To empower the unseen, the displaced and the underserved.

ICCD is a faith-based humanitarian and development NGO serving marginalised mothers, adolescents, children and families inside refugee settlements, IDP camps, post-conflict regions and rural communities across Uganda.

Through health, education, livelihoods, WASH and psycho-social care — rooted in the values of the Anglican Church of Uganda — we walk alongside people as agents of their own transformation.
