Background
ICCD is an indigenous, faith-based humanitarian and development NGO officially registered with the NGO Board of Uganda under Reg. No. R4028403NB. We focus on those who often go unnoticed — marginalised mothers, adolescents, children and families living inside refugee settlements, IDP camps, post-conflict regions and rural communities across Uganda.
Vision
A world where every woman, man and child lives a healthy, fulfilling life of sustained reliance.
Mission
To empower children, young mothers, refugees and other vulnerable groups in underserved communities to access rights-based healthcare, education and economic opportunities — for better health outcomes and improved quality of life.
Goal
Promoting post-conflict recovery through income-generating skills training and safe spaces for women, youth, and children. I will restore to you the years the locusts have eaten--Joel 2:25
Statement of Faith
Our identity and service flow from faith in Jesus Christ. We minister with the Word of God and practical action, reaching children, women, refugees, the rural poor and persons with disabilities.
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
Our motto
Reaching the vulnerable with the love of Christ and practical care.
We believe the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God—our highest authority for faith and practice.

Guiding Principles
From child protection to non-discrimination, these principles anchor how we design and deliver our work.
In all matters concerning children, the well-being of vulnerable children is the paramount consideration in every programme we design.
Every person is entitled to the highest standard of living and the chance to thrive — regardless of religion, tribe or race.
People must be protected from all forms of abuse, violence and exploitation. We design interventions that address the root causes.
We design programmes with the communities we serve so that they play a leading role in their own transformation.
ICCD serves all regardless of race, religion or ethnicity — guided by the principle of non-discrimination.
Guided by Matthew 25:35-36 — "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat" — we build equal and dynamic partnerships rooted in love.
Messages from our leaders
“Despite the legal instruments in place, more must be done to protect the rights of all individuals. Support for organisations like ICCD is pivotal in empowering women, children, orphans and refugees. Let us embark on this journey of transformation together.”
“ICCD seeks to align with like-minded allies, particularly within host communities, to drive our objectives forward. Our determination is unwavering — together, we can bring about meaningful change.”
