Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH), means “Our Little Brothers and Sisters” in Spanish.  Founded in 1954 by Father William Wasson, NPH currently supports nearly 7,000 extremely impoverished children and young adults in nine countries and 19 sites in Latin American and the Carribean (Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Peru.

 

Our countries represent some of the neediest in the world.  UNICEF reports that 46.2% of children living in Latin America between the ages of 0-14 are living in poverty.

 

 NPH programs are saving and changing lives.  We provide a loving home for children and services that they may not receive otherwise.  Children that do not have an adult in their lives that can care for them, live at our home — while providing services to community children and families who need help.  We provide shelter, food, clothing, caring adults, medical and dental needs, primary and secondary schools, vocational workshops, university, social workers, sports, hobbies, and more.   We meet our children’s basic needs, then change their lives.  By instilling positive messages and providing pathways to success, we are breaking generational cycles and creating systemic change. 

 

 

 

Through our partnership, our parish will have an opportunity to put our faith in action.  All members of our parish can be involved by responding to the call to care for our brothers and sisters in need, and put our social justice mission into action.
