About Program

NPH Haiti, known also as NPFS (Nos Petit Frères et Soeurs), operates on two campuses: the main children’s home, up in the mountains near Kenscoff, and the hospital, in Port-au-Prince. The home, which was started in 1987, is located on 15 acres of land and includes 19 residential cottages for the children and school through grade 8. In addition to our own children, more than 400 external students attend our onsite school.

The St. Damien Pediatric Hospital is the only free hospital of its kind in Haiti. It treats up to 700 patients a day and focuses primarily on long-term care for critically injured children.

Volunteers serve in Port Au Prince and Kenskoff.

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with NPH USA for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.

Yes, I recommend this program

forever changed

I did Physical Therapy at the Haiti out patient clinic at the school for 2 weeks. I did mostly stroke out patient. Most patient were open and glad to have me help them. A highlight was getting daily hugs from the school children that attended there.The biggest obstacle was no translator and most staff did not know English. The staff was awesome and helpful. I was able to spend one night in Kenskoff in the orphanage. What a joy to see the children happy and content. There was so much ongoing maintenance work to be done that I felt a handy man from the states could do easily. My overall experience was one that changed me forever and I will always have the love of Haitians til the day I die. Thanks you Gena and Norma for making this happen
