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.
