About Friends of the Orphans
A 40-year-old nonprofit organization with six regional offices in the United States, Friends of the Orphans supports a network of nine Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH, Spanish for “Our Little Brothers and Sisters”) homes and their outreach programs in Latin America and the Caribbean. Together, Friends of the Orphans and NPH transform the lives of orphaned, abandoned and disadvantaged children by creating families for life through values of unconditional love, shared responsibility and education. This enables children to transcend poverty and grow into caring and productive members of their communities.
Since its founding in 1954, NPH has assisted nearly 16,000 children and currently cares for more than 3,700 in Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru. In 2010, NPH outreach programs, including the premier pediatric hospital in Haiti, assisted one million children and adults. By making a difference in the lives of the children through volunteer and donation opportunities, our supporters’ lives are enhanced as well.
