What is NPH Guatemala?
NPH (Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos) Guatemala is an orphanage located in San Andres Itzapa, about a one hour drive from Guatemala City. It is one of a family of orphanages in the Caribbean, Central, and South America which care for 3 000 to 4 000 orphaned, abandoned, and underprivileged children. This family of orphanages is supported and funded solely through the work of an umbrella international organization, NPH International (www.nph.org). NPH Guatemala has been constructed over the past six year with much of the fundraising being done here in Southern Ontario by Friends of the Orphans Canada (FOTOCAN), www.fotocan.org. At present the orphanage consists of a school building, kitchen and dining hall, four workshops, eight volunteer houses, and eight thousand foot medical clinic, administrative offices and twenty-five acres of cultivated land.
