Donations
Q. I would like to make a donation to the work of RICF. How to I go about this?
A. Please follow the link to make a donation.
Q. Why should I support this project rather than a project in the third world where the needs are surely greater?
A. There are many worthwhile projects in different countries, and there are great needs around the world. The most important thing is to contribute somewhere where the money will be used wisely and will make a difference. Some projects offer emergency supplies to provide immediate relief for victims of drought and famine. This is essential, but RICF is doing something different but equally valuable.
RICF offers longer term investment in abandoned and orphaned children. The children who come to RICF often have no belongings, and sometimes even the clothes they are wearing have to be thrown away as they are infested and unhygienic. These individual children could not be any poorer as they literally arrive with nothing. RICF aims to invest in these children who have been rejected by society, with love, education, food, and clothing and by providing loving families for them.
