A “primary education” through the 8th grade is the benchmark for many children in countries we serve. A high-school (secondary) education is not always free or guaranteed. Even when available, a secondary education can be a difficult task for disadvantaged children with limited access to books, teachers, food, and medical care. ICCM provides the resources necessary to help children succeed with a secondary, high-school education. With the support of ICCM sponsors, thousands of children living at the margins have graduated.
