🏢 About the local organisation
This institution was founded 1872 by the Father Pablo de Anda Padilla with the objective to protect and educate girls who have been abandoned or mistreated by their parents. It was the first refuge for girls in the city of León, which was back then called "Casa de la Misericordia" and later renamed "Asilo de San Vicente". Today, it is known by the name "Asilo Pablo Anda, A. C.".

They are orphans, daughters of a single parent, of dispersed families, of parents who are not capable of taking care of them, or girls in situations endangering their physical and moral integrity as well as girls under the protection of welfare service.
