International Child Advancement

International Child Advancement is a non-profit organization with a mission to empower orphans and underprivileged children to become self-sufficient through education, economic empowerment and mentoring.

• We are driven by a group of passionate and dedicated volunteers in the U.S. and abroad, led by our Founder who is of Congolese descent.
• In Buffalo, NY, we empower refugee, immigrant, and underserved youth through education support and life skills programs, bridging the gap between challenges and opportunities. Supporting these youth is vital, as many often face barriers such as poverty, educational inequities, language difficulties and more. By addressing these challenges, we help them thrive while contributing to a more inclusive and vibrant Buffalo.
• In the Democratic Republic of Congo, we challenge deep-seated cultural norms including the mistreatment against orphans and violence against girls. Through shelter and protection, equitable access to education, economic empowerment programs, and mentorship, we provide orphans safe living environments, opportunities to learn and grow, and the skills to build self-sufficient futures. Our initiatives aim to reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience, helping underserved children thrive despite challenges.​​
