ICC-Life committee believe that there are many wellwishers who are willing to help the internally displaced persons to enable them start new livelihood. The project is in fact a platform for such generous persons to contribute in building up the economy of the internally displaced community . The project largely depends on the donation from wellwishers. The project is open for public evaluation/ monitoring as it is for the community.
