Asilo de San Vicente de Paul, Catholic orphanage in Paco, Philippines
Located along United Nations Avenue in Manila, Asilo de San Vicente de Paul operates on a two-hectare property providing shelter for orphaned children.
Sister Asunción Ventura established the institution in 1885 using her family inheritance to purchase six hectares of land for an asylum for girls.
The facility taught embroidery and needlework skills to young female residents, with wealthy families regularly purchasing their handcrafted products.
The orphanage maintains its main operations at 1148 United Nations Avenue in Manila, continuing its mission of caring for abandoned children.
During World War II, bombing destroyed the main buildings causing 200 casualties, leading to complete reconstruction in February 1945 after Manila's liberation.
