NPH USA
NPH USA founded in the United States in 1965, is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, Federal Tax ID# 65-1229309, dedicated to improving the lives of orphaned, abandoned and disadvantaged children through our support of the Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos/Nos Petits Freres et
Soeurs (NPH/NPFS, Spanish and French for “Our Little Brothers and Sisters”) network of orphanages in Latin America and the Caribbean. Founded by Father William B. Wasson in 1954, NPH has provided loving and stable homes to nearly 16,000 children. NPH currently cares for over 3,700 children in nine countries: Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru. In 2010, NPH outreach programs assisted more than one million children and adults in Haiti alone. NPH USA helps provide NPH children with food, clothing, shelter, health care, an education, and the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty, which was once their destiny.
==History==
In 1954, a hungry, homeless boy was arrested for stealing from the poor box of a small church in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The church’s priest, Father William Wasson of Phoenix, Arizona, refused to press charges and asked for custody of the boy. Within a few days, eight more boys found a home with Father Wasson. He gave them a safe home and a chance to turn their lives around. By year’s end, 32 boys were in his care and Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos was born.
Father Wasson’s devotion to the care of orphans inspired an outpouring of financial support and volunteer helpers for his humanitarian cause. NPH USA traces its roots to Father Wasson’s family and friends in Arizona, who showed their generosity and kindness by sending clothes, food and money. In 1965, Friends of Our Little Brothers was incorporated in Arizona as a nonprofit organization. Affiliated but separate nonprofit support groups called NPH USA were created in Minnesota (1986), Washington (1988) and Illinois (1999). An organization in Virginia, called Our Little Brothers and Sisters (OLB&S), helped start successful fundraising offices in Europe as well as Canada. On July 1, 2005, the offices in Arizona, Illinois, Minnesota, and Washington became regional offices of the national organization – NPH USA. In addition, new regional offices were formed in Florida, and Virginia. The new offices were made possible by the fundraising support of OLB&S.
