Ways to be Involved: Donate

ICCO provides financial assistance in many areas. We provide the salaries for over 50 caregivers at the Children's Welfare Institute. These caregivers provide daily love and stimulation to the children in their care. Because of ICCO's involvement, the CWI is able to have low child-to-nanny ratios that allow for the best care possible. These caregivers are a fundamental, vital part of the well-being of the children.

As funds allow, we support necessary medical surgeries. Recent surgeries have included cleft lip/palate repair, heart surgery, and eye surgery.

ICCO has provided milk powder to children with special medical needs such as PKU, milk allergies, and lactose intolerance. We also provide for wheelchair repairs, leg braces, and other special medical needs.

Special gifts are given to provide children with coats, warm mittens, hats, and scarves in the winter. This little boy was squealing with joy as he received a new coat last fall.



ICCO also provides financial assistance in the Adult Facility, a separate facility in Tianjin that provides for the care of those who are too old for the CWI and unable to live independently. The adults in the Adult Facility are provided 24-hour care, physical therapy, medical care, and nutritional support.

ICCO operates solely from donations. Without donations, ICCO cannot provide any services for children. 100% of all donations go directly to caring for the children.

Donations can be given via Paypal at the link below. We also have a US mailing address on the right side of the blog if you prefer to donate that way. Thank you for loving the children enough to give!
