A few words
About Us
History
Our Story Starts Way Back… With a Dream to Uplift and Empower
April 2010
| The spark of ICCF was ignited when Bano, the co-founder, joined her husband in New York. Deeply moved by the emotional struggles of new immigrants — many of whom were silently crying out for help — she shared her concerns with compassion and urgency. |
A Heartfelt Vision
| Bano’s empathy for these struggling families reminded her of the underprivileged communities back home in Pakistan. Her reflections and prayers with her husband turned into a shared commitment to do something meaningful for both worlds. |
October 31, 2011
| With faith as their foundation and purpose as their guide, Bano and her husband co-founded the International Community Care Foundation (ICCF). It was officially registered in New York as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit humanitarian organization. |
Our Mission
| ICCF was born out of love and continues to serve with dedication — supporting new immigrants in the United States and impoverished communities in Pakistan. Even as a small organization, ICCF has remained steadfast in its mission through thick and thin. |
Looking Ahead
| We invite you to join us not just as a supporter, but as a partner in compassion. Together, we can bring hope, dignity, and joy to those who need it most — and build a world that truly cares. |
