Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) means "Our Little Brothers and Sisters" in Spanish. NPH USA transforms the lives of vulnerable children in Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Peru. Together, we help children overcome poverty and become productive, caring leaders in their own communities. Founded in 1954 by Father William Wasson, NPH is supporting nearly 8,000 children, both inside and outside our homes, ensuring they have a safe and nurturing place to live, an education, clothing, healthcare, and a strong family support system. In addition, NPH’s St. Damien Pediatric Hospital employs more than 500 Haitians and is the only hospital wholly dedicated to pediatric and prenatal care in Haiti, a country of 11.5 million people.
Every day we have incoming correspondence from sponsors in the U.S. to be forwarded to the pequeños living in our homes. Therefore, we are always in need of dedicated translators who can commit about 2 hours a week to help translate English to Spanish and vice versa.
Volunteering is in person! Evenings (5-6pm) M-W are available upon request.
