The HIV/AIDS epidemic sweeping through sub-Saharan Africa has left millions of children parentless, vulnerable and without a future or hope in a world that is becoming more and more selfish by the day. The size of the epidemic that has infected over 25 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone has so heavily burdened the African community and traditional family care system as to render it almost powerless.
Realising the catastrophic future that faces these children I-CCO Zambia was set up in 1999 by a group of concerned local Christians to help educate and train as many of the 800,000 AIDS orphans in Zambia as possible. The charity, run by volunteers and several full-time workers, uses a holistic approach in order to meet every aspect of the orphans’ needs – social, economic and spiritual.
I-CCO UK was established in 2000 to work in partnership with those already working in Zambia to support the work of the charity through prayer and finance.
