| The International Committee for Chinese Orphans (ICCO) is a volunteer organization dedicated to improving the lives of Tianjin's handicapped orphans. |
|
The Tianjin Institute of Children’s Welfare has been housing orphans since 1889.
|
| For the last 19 years it is the only facility in Tianjin to house orphans with disabilities. |
| It is currently home to some 200 children, most of whom have some physical or mental handicap. |
|
| ICCO volunteers provide direct care to these children as well as raise funds to provide care and supplies. |
| ICCO facilitates expat therapists, special educators and other professionals to increase the level of care of the children. |
| Over the past seven years ICCO has successfully brought about improvements in the care and health of these children. |
