In 2005, approximately 1 billion people [one out of three urban dwellers] were living in slum conditions. These locations, which we refer to in this document as the inner cities, are the focus of our work. We have a mission to the children who live in these inner cities.<\/p>\n<p>Innercity&#8217;s mission is to:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Identify orphaned and vulnerable children [OVC] in families or households, inner city community schools and orphanages or related institutions who have become deprived, vulnerable and excluded as a result of poverty.<br \/>\n&#8211; Deliver sustainable and participatory interventions to these OVC, their families or households, schools and orphanages or related institutions.<br \/>\n&#8211; Mobilize these families or households, inner city community schools and orphanages or related institutions into a force for change.<br \/>\n&#8211; Promote awareness of the plight or situation of these OVC and the dire social consequences of the society\u2019s neglect in addressing their problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CORE VALUES<\/strong><br \/>\nWe understand and accept that:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The key to sustainable and lasting change to the issues that affect children living in poverty in inner cities is wrapped up in the Word of God.<br \/>\n&#8211; Change on the outside is preceded by change on the inside; therefore, a change of mental attitude leads to a change in physical circumstances.<br \/>\n&#8211; We must take actions that bring the deprived, excluded and vulnerable children in the inner cities into a position that makes them drivers of their own change.<br \/>\n&#8211; These children must be active participants in their own change in order to achieve independence within a set time.<\/p>\n<p>Please consider joining us to partner with the Inner city Mission, to provide for children in need, all around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT IS THE INNERCITY MISSION?
