Background
For 25 years, the International Childcare Trust has provided funding and advice to children’s projects in both Asia and Africa. In the past, the charity facilitated its work through branch offices in the countries where it works. In recent years, it has carried out projects through local partner organisations within those countries, such as the Vilpatti Village Project in India.(Source: [http://www.ict-uk.org] )
