INTERNATIONAL CHILDRENS NETWORK

The Goal of ICN (Parent Organization of Matsiko Children International) is to provide sponsors for as many of our world's 600 million orphaned and at-risk children possible in order for them to be empowered to complete their university or vocational studies and grow the cycle of empowering other vulnerable children around the world.

1. Sponsoring a child through their nation's university or vocational schooling allows the family and child to have a real hope and dream for the first time in order to break the families historic cycle of poverty. A complete education allows the child to become anything he or she wishes to become and places them on equal footing with their nation's most privileged children. There, the blind hope of child trafficking becomes severely weakened due to the fact that the child now has a real hope and future for the entire family.

2. ICN Centers are now being built in order to have free tutoring from well trained teachers to teach all subjects after school. This mandatory attendance now allows ICN sponsored children and others not going to school the chance to truly learn and get ahead of their currently schooling programs. For this reason ICN children are always at the top of each grade level. In addition, ICN Centers keep children off the streets with sports, music, leadership, drama and other programs that reinforce the value of being good role models and working hard to accomplish anything in life.

3. The activities at the ICN Centers are positive role modes and safe spaces for children on the streets to receive positive reinforcement and real path ways to success in life in order to overcome their current living afflictions.

4. Helping people who are able to realize that sponsoring one of our world's most vulnerable children and empowering them with a complete education is a much cheaper, more effective, and impactful way to prevent child trafficking then to ONLY focus on rescuing a few precious thousand each year by spending billions and billions of dollars each year in the process.

Top 4 strategies:

1. To provide as much awareness and advocacy through performance and arts like our Matsiko World Orphan Choir
2 To work with schools, churches, individuals, businesses, and civic groups for school campaigns, visits and other needed projects for the children
3. To Network as many organizations, people and groups as possible in order to work together and defeat this tremendous issue
4. Network public media including tv, music, print and social to gain more support and work for the children
5. To build and grow community after school centers that become vital parts of each community in order to grow and maintain real leadership training and pathways to a successful life emotionally and financially.
6. To allow people to understand that empowering as many of our world's 600 million orphaned and at-risk children with a complete education through the hugest levels of their nation's university or vocational systems is a much cheaper, more effective, and impactful way of preventing child trafficking while breaking the cycle of poverty at the same time than to SOLELY focus on finding and rescuing a few thousand precious children each year through billions and billions of annual expenditure.

1. ICN (Parent Organization of Matsiko Children International) has developed a World Orphan Choir to provide awareness through performance with the very children it works to empower. These children, in the Matsiko World Orphan Choir, are a few of the hundreds of Millions of neglected children they represent from all over the world!
2. ICN goes into schools, churches, businesses, and meets with individuals and civic groups with its representatives and Matsiko Choir
3. Networking points 3 and 4 are ongoing seven (7) days a week / 24 hours a day in order to maximize and increase as much awareness and support as possible.
4. Work with many schools and churches to build and involve visiting teachers to help along side the existing teachers to help further the goals and lessons of the children in each community ICN partners.

ICN (Parent Organization of Matsiko Children International) works to minimally increase its prior year results by a minimum 5% each year. As to-date, this goal has been accomplished and exceeded by 21% financially and in sponsorship.
ICN has grown its foot print of empowering our world's most forgotten children be expanding throughout India, Peru, Africa, and in the Philippines.
One of the main goals of ICN is to allow everyone who is able to understand that empowering, with a complete education, as many of our world's 600 million impoverished children is the one of the greatest ways to prevent child trafficking possible. In addition, sponsoring a child to empower that child with a complete education not only prevents child trafficking, but it allows that child to become whatever they wish to become and be a part of our world's solution instead of a part of the problem.
Sponsoring a child, with a complete education, is a much more impactful, cheaper, and permanent way of also breaking the cycle of poverty and preventing child trafficking as opposed to the billions and billions of dollars spent each year focusing ONLY on find a few precious thousand lives.
