The International Children's Charity Foundation (ICCF - "HELP FOR/THE CHILDREN") was founded in 1991, following a visit to Ukraine by one of ICCF's founders, Faina Leznik. Her personal observation of the tragedies, difficulties, and sufferings of the children victimized by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster served to spark a quest and determination to alleviate the misery suffered by the innocent victims -- the children -- of manmade and natural disasters. Consequently, our earlier activities have focused on Chernobyl.

The International Children's Charity Foundation - "HELP FOR/THE CHILDREN" is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit public benefit corporation organized for charitable purposes and designed to: promote the welfare of children in need, including children with physical disabilities and/or life threatening diseases.
