Fundación NPH

What Fundación NPH does

Fundación NPH (legal name Fundación Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos) is a Spanish-registered nonprofit foundation headquartered in Barcelona that operates as the primary fundraising and awareness arm of the NPH International network. Founded in 1954, the organization supports vulnerable children and families across nine Latin American and Caribbean countries (Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Peru, Bolivia, and Haiti) through a vertically integrated portfolio that includes residential homes, schools, community centers, vocational workshops, university scholarships, and the pediatric Hospital St. Damien in Haiti. The foundation has supported more than 18,000 children since its inception and accompanied 5,941 people in 2025 alone, with programs spanning education, healthcare, nutrition, disability services, family strengthening, and socio-labor insertion.

The organization runs no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-intensive and field-based. Revenue derives from a diversified set of donation streams: individual one-time and recurring contributions (including child sponsorship via apadrinamiento, preset tiers of €10–€250, and Bizum/credit-card/bank-transfer channels), corporate CSR partnerships (named partners include Werfen, Banco Mediolanum, Ajuntament de Terrassa, Fundación Marcet, and Fundación Roviralta), legacy giving, solidarity events (e.g., Barcelona solidarity dinners with €40,000 targets), and fee-based solidarity trips (€2,500 per participant for El Salvador). Engagement channels span website donation portals, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), email newsletters, testimonial storytelling, the Copa NPH "Un Gol por la Paz" international youth football tournament, and corporate volunteer placements. The Spanish foundation, with approximately 10 employees, is registered with the Protectorado de Fundaciones del Ministerio de Justicia (NIF G62984919, nº 08/0345) and holds Civil Society Organization accreditation at the United Nations.

The business model is best characterized as a federation model: Fundación NPH Spain coordinates fundraising and donor relations, while country-level operating subsidiaries (NPH Guatemala, NPH Peru, NPH Bolivia, NPH Haiti, NPH Honduras, NPH El Salvador, NPH República Dominicana, NPH México, NPH Nicaragua) execute direct service delivery. Recent strategic emphasis has shifted from purely residential care toward family strengthening and community-based prevention — evidenced by the 2022 Guatemala Centro Familiar Comunitario, the 2023 Bolivia Centro Familiar Padre Wasson, and the 2023 methodology shift toward family reintegration in Bolivia. The 2025 Ápeiron partnership with Fundación Marcet extends the model transnationally, allowing NPH youth to continue studies and athletic training in Barcelona.
