International Child Resource Institute

International Child Resource Institute (ICRI) "is an international organization committed to improving the lives of children and families throughout the world, enabling them to survive and succeed...

"In 1978, a group of noted child advocates meeting in Stockholm identified the lack of a linking system to provide access to information on programs serving children and families throughout the world. Although excellent programs existed regionally, there was no system in place to assemble, analyze, and disseminate related information worldwide.

"ICRI was created in 1981 to draw together this information and provide an international linkage between agencies, organizations, and individuals concerned with children and families. This linkage then allowed ICRI to refine and reproduce programs of proven success."
