OUR WORK

ICFA is non-profit organization whose main goal is helping families in need around the world




With your help we can touch lives




INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR FAMILY ADVANCEMENT (ICFA), a non-profit organization conceptualized in December 2001, was registered in Nigeria on 15th day of July 2008 as a non-profitable organization.Its purpose is to implement projects that will build viable family systems, thus, focusing on sustenance of marriages, supporting elderly people, empowering children in their early teen and adolescent years and uniting families in the society.




Its aims at ensuring that every woman in every family of the world has the same right as her male counterpart to live happily and proudly as mothers – the hearts of homes and nations. Our major concerns include promoting the rights and fundamental needs, the well-being and the values of the family which have been relegated to the background by national laws, governmental and non-governmental institutions and socio-economic programmes.




Although they are progressively safeguarded in some cases, many families are forced to live in situations of poverty and hardship which prevent them from carrying out their roles with dignity and pride.
