“IOCC helped me keep going,” Bachuki said. He continued, “they showed me how to use my small piece of land in winter to grow crops we can sell. This is not just training, it’s hope.

Asasu is a mother of two in Ethiopia. She earns a very modest income growing and selling vegetables. Supporting a family through farming is difficult, making it harder is the fact that both she and her husband live with podoconiosis.

IOCC provides refugee services at the camp for struggling families like Huda’s. Her brother, Khaled, had his vision tested at an IOCC clinic, where he received glasses.

With your help, someone could remember 2026 as the year their life turned around. Start the New Year by helping someone make a new beginning.

As we begin 2026, critical home repair and rebuild efforts are ongoing in Tennessee and Florida. Your volunteer service is needed as much as ever.

May 2026 be a year of peace and renewed compassion, a year in which your generosity continues to transform lives and shine light into places of hardship.

Thanks to a special year-end matching opportunity from a generous IOCC supporter, every gift you make this season will be doubled—helping twice as many families.

A very Blessed Nativity to all our supporters from everyone at IOCC.
