Indian Christian Orthodox Network Charities Inc

OUR MISSION IS TO EMPOWER AND UPLIFT MARGINALIZED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE DEPRIVED OF FUNDAMENTAL NECESSITIES, INCLUDING ACCESS TO EDUCATION, SECURE SHELTER, AND ESSENTIAL MEDICAL CARE. WE ARE DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THEIR LIVES BY ENSURING THAT THEY NOT ONLY RECEIVE THESE BASIC NEEDS BUT ALSO GAIN THE SUPPORT AND TOOLS REQUIRED TO THRIVE. BY ADDRESSING THESE FUNDAMENTAL NEEDS, OUR ORGANIZATION AIMS TO NOT JUST PROVIDE IMMEDIATE RELIEF BUT ALSO FOSTER LONG-TERM EMPOWERMENT WITHIN THESE MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES. WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BY ENHANCING ACCESS TO EDUCATION, SHELTER, AND MEDICAL CARE, WE CAN POSITIVELY IMPACT LIVES, INSTILL HOPE, AND ULTIMATELY CREATE A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR ALL.

WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT EDUCATION IS A POWERFUL TOOL FOR BREAKING THE CYCLE OF GENERATIONAL POVERTY. TO THIS END, WE HAVE INITIATED SEVERAL PROGRAMS, INCLUDING THE ICON EXCELLENCE AWARDS, DOSTI & PRERANA, WHICH PROVIDE PARTIAL AND FULL EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE TO BRIGHT AND DIFFERENTLY-ABLED STUDENTS FROM FINANCIALLY CHALLENGED BACKGROUNDS. IN THE CURRENT YEAR, WE HAVE EXTENDED OUR SUPPORT TO 616 COLLEGE STUDENTS, OFFERING THEM PARTIAL EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE. YOU CAN FIND FURTHER DETAILS ABOUT THESE STUDENTS AND OUR PROGRAMS AT HTTP://WWW.ICONEXCELLENCEAWARD.ORG. NOTABLY, THESE STUDENTS COME FROM ECONOMICALLY AND SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES IN SOUTHERN STATES OF INDIA. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE ALSO MADE A MEANINGFUL IMPACT BY ASSISTING 80 MENTALLY CHALLENGED CHILDREN IN THEIR EDUCATIONAL PURSUITS AND LIFE SKILLS TRAINING. WE HAVE FORGED PARTNERSHIPS WITH INSTITUTIONS LIKE PRERANA SCHOOL IN NAGPUR, WHERE WE WORK TO PROVIDE TRAINING AND SUPPORT TO SPECIAL-NEEDS CHILDREN. YOU CAN ACCESS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS INITIATIVE AT HTTP://WWW.ICONCHARITIES.ORG/PR. OUR STRATEGIC FOCUS IS ON INCREASING OUR SUPPORT FOR FEMALE STUDENTS BECAUSE WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT EDUCATING GIRLS EMPOWERS THEM TO BECOME CHANGE-MAKERS WHO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THEIR COMMUNITIES. AS WE CONTINUE TO INVEST IN EDUCATION, WE ASPIRE TO CREATE A BRIGHTER AND MORE EQUITABLE FUTURE FOR ALL.
