About International Children's Network (ICN)
International Children’s Network (INC) is rebranded as Matsiko Children International (MCI). Our mission is to transform the lives of our world’s most vulnerable children through a complete education which helps them grow in wisdom, character, and opportunity. Matsiko means hope, and real hope is what our sponsors provide through a complete education all the way through the highest degree or trade school possible in the child’s own country, thus breaking the cycle of generational poverty. In addition to educational support, funding is also committed for food, clothing, school supplies, medicine, and other needs for these children, so schooling effectiveness can be maximized. Selected children may join the Matsiko World Orphan Choir which tours the USA to raise awareness, support, and child sponsors for the communities in which we work in Liberia, Uganda, India, Nepal, The Philippines, and Peru.
What “Trusted” Means
Trusted ministries meet our complete baseline framework for faithful Christian operation. This ministry has been verified against eleven of fifteen criteria in The Most Trusted Standard — demonstrating doctrinal clarity, biblical stewardship, independent financial review, faithful handling of donor intent, independent board governance, conflict-of-interest protections, truthful communications, and active mission-aligned programs.
Trusted represents the foundation on which our higher designations are built. Highly Trusted and Most Trusted ministries demonstrate additional levels of public transparency and independent evaluation that go beyond this baseline.
