WHO IS CHRISTINA NOBLE? |
Christina Noble was born into abject poverty in Dublin Ireland, 1944. There she suffered endemic childhood abuse at the hands of industrial institutions after the early death of her Mother from poverty related disease. Christina knows firsthand what it is like to be denied her basic human rights, to be isolated and marginalised and to survive on the streets. This adversity in her young life instilled in her a passion for children’s rights worldwide.
A staunch unorthodox champion of children’s rights, Christina established her British Registered Foundation in Vietnam 1989 and in Mongolia 1997, now one of the longest serving NGOs in both countries. Christina’s efforts to highlight the plight of disadvantaged and street children has assisted in motivating social change and reform in Vietnam and Mongolia and has in turn promoted the need for cross cultural understanding, communication and shifts in individual attitudes from government representatives to street and working children.
Since arriving in Vietnam 30 years ago and Mongolia (1997), Christina and her foundation have established over 164 projects providing education, healthcare and community development humanitarian services to vulnerable and destitute children and their families and poor rural communities. To date these projects have assisted almost 900,000 children and collectively have impacted the lives of over 1,000,000 children and adults.
Christina is an exceptional and inspiring person. She has by her own effort and example and with an unselfish willingness to serve, shown the world that street and disadvantaged children are a vital part of humanity.
Christina is the author of two international best-selling autobiographies, ‘Bridge Across My Sorrows’ (1994) and’ Mama Tina’ (1997) and the subject of a biopic feature film ‘NOBLE’ (2014) which won seven international film awards, Christina has also been the subject of two feature length award-winning documentaries - Mama Tina (1997) and In A House That Cease to Be (2014).
Christina and her Foundation have been acknowledged globally over 100 times across 30 countries for humanitarian services to children. Among them are, Order of the British Empire (OBE), Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian Award, Time Magazine’s - Inspiring Heroes and Global Honoury Doctorates.

TESTIMONIALS
"I’ve had the pleasure of seeing at first hand the incredible work that CNCF does over the years. Their values are clear and simple. They help those who just cannot help themselves. And they can’t help themselves as they’re quite often the most vulnerable in society. And that’s where CNCF steps in. They provide that blanket which is a euphemism but an incredibly appropriate one that enables the children to feel safe, secure and loved. It’s impossible not to feel drawn to the work of CNCF. The feeling of warmth, energy and most of all.. positivity is without comparison."
