The aim of this article is to analyze, from the point of view of health, assistance and education, three institutions built to shelter children in needy in Goiás in the 20th century: the São Vicente de Paulo Asylum (1909) and the São José Orphanage (1922), both still in operation, located in Goiás city, which was the state capital until 1937, and Afrânio de Azevedo Preventorium (1943), which operated in Goiânia, capital since then. The São Vicente de Paulo Asylum focused on health, that is, it sheltered patients, regardless of age, or male orphans; the São José Orphanage, in turn, prioritized assistance to poor orphans and, finally, the Afrânio de Azevedo Preventorium proposed the education of its inmates.

Keywords : Health; Assistance; Education; Childhood; Goiás.
