Children Thrive and Grow with NPH
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up safe, healthy, included, and prepared for the future. For more than 70 years, NPH has worked alongside children, families, and communities across Latin America and the Caribbean to help make that vision a reality.
Through an integrated model of Residential Care, Community Programs, and St. Damien Pediatric Hospital, NPH provides protection, healthcare, education, family support, disability services, and opportunities for young people to reach their full potential. Across nine countries, this work is delivered through five strategic initiatives that create measurable impact for thousands of children, families, and community members each year.
Across the region, children suffer daily:
- They live in dangerous and unsanitary conditions, sometimes on the street
- They lack access to basic health care and nutrition
- They grow up illiterate unable to attend school
- They suffer abuse at home and violence in the community
With your help, we are giving them:
A permanent home and loving family they can count on
Nutritious food and clean water
Comprehensive medical services and well-care
Catholic values and a strong and empowering sense of culture
Quality education and support to become caring, productive members of society
