YOU have the power to break the cycle of poverty

Access to education in Latin America and the Caribbean has always been limited, with an estimated 10 million children excluded from the education system. Vocational and university educations increase productivity in the countries where we operate, improving competitiveness and opportunities for youth to join the labor force. That is why NPH invests in high-quality education, from early interventions in pre-Kindergarten all the way through vocational and university educational opportunities.

NPH envisions a world in which our students reach their individual potential whether through higher education, vocational training, or productive programs for students with special needs.

Sponsor a University Student

We believe that those who demonstrate an aptitude for higher learning—despite the hardships they have endured—deserve the opportunity to continue their educational journey.

Your gift of a university education can help advance young adults to the top percentiles in their countries, preparing them to become leaders and engaged, productive citizens.

At a current annual cost of $5,000 per student, your gift would cover the cost of tuition, fees, supplies, housing, meal plans, and transportation. Students typically live in NPH homes or shared apartments and work part-time jobs during the school year. This helps them learn disciplined time management and other soft skills that can lead to gainful employment after graduation.

Past graduates have demonstrated their capacity to serve their communities in numerous fields, including medicine, science, law, engineering, technology, and education. Many come back to serve at NPH. Within our NPH family, university graduates are not only celebrated, but they are role models and mentors to the many children who follow in their footsteps toward a bright future.

Sponsor a Student’s Vocational Training

Even in the most developed countries, a university education isn’t the right fit for every young person. However, they can stay competitive in the job market by earning technical certifications.

NPH enables children to cultivate their talents and passions through a variety of opportunities, including learning a trade so they may grow to be economically independent and productive members in their communities.

We help children develop different skills through technical workshops. Depending on the country, these technical workshops include carpentry, cosmetology, culinary arts, electrical engineering, sewing and upholstery, hospitality and tourism, and IT.

Your gift of a Technical Scholarship helps cover the cost of tuition, materials, and room and board for students as they earn an advanced title and professional certificate in their technical field after high school. Your gift helps prepare and equip youth for financial independence, having an enormous ripple effect on their families and communities.
