The Center for Innocent Children

The Genesis.

The Center for Innocent Children (Trường Khuyết Tật Bé Thơ) was founded in 1990 by Sister Maria Daniel Vu Thi Vinh. Touched by the helplessness of a group of children who were abandoned by their family or orphaned, and the desperate situation they faced, Sister Maria Daniel Vinh found temporary housing and took them in. Wishing to provide them with opportunities for a happier, healthier, and more rewarding life, she gave shelter, sent them to school, and encouraged them to obtain a vocational education. And thus the Center for Innocent Children was born.

$1 a day.

To stay open and continue to provide the children with basic necessities, the Center is looking for your support. A one-dollar-a-day sponsorship would bestow a child with food, housing, and tuition. With enough support, the Center will be able to fulfill its mandate to provide the children with a decent childhood, an education, and a chance at a better life. To all my friends, colleagues, family, and generous souls, please join us in supporting the Center for Innocent Children. Your contribution will make a small dent in the universe and a big impact in the lives of these deserving children this coming year.

Please note that you can not claim your donation as a tax-lowering gift - at least in the United States. The Center for Innocent Children in Vietnam is not eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions since it is not officially recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as having 501(c) (3) status. Hopefully, this won't stop you from making the world a better place!
