How You Can Make a Difference
Transform the life of a child through sponsorship. Children at NPH, known as pequeños (Spanish for “little ones”), call their sponsors padrino or madrina Spanish for “godfather” and “godmother”. As a godparent, you are essential to the life of your godchild. Ongoing financial support provides food, clothing, healthcare, education, and a home. You will become a part of your godchild’s life and offer critical emotional support. Learn more by clicking here, or become a godparent today by emailing [email protected]
Help break the cycle of poverty by supporting families in the surrounding community. In accordance with the United Nations guidelines for children living in alternative care released in 2010, NPH developed the OneFamily program to provide a continuum of care to children who reintegrate with their families. Providing families with assistance needed to care for their children, we can empower them to reach their goals, while also helping to strengthen families and communities.

These professionals work with the added stress of gunfire, kidnappings and failed government and infrastructure. The wild valuation of the local currency means they cannot rely on the purchasing power of their wages. Diesel fuel is required to be trucked through gang-controlled road checks to feed the electrical generators of the hospital. Water purification is required to avoid the spread of diseases. Some nights the staff will choose to sleep in the hospital rather than risk being kidnapped on the way home or on their return to work. Learn more about the program here.
