NPH USA Wins Two Silver Awards at the 2025 Anthem Awards 

NPH USA is honored to announce that The Life and Times of Esmeralda – An NPH Story has been recognized with two Silver Awards at the 2025 Anthem Awards. The film received distinctions in: 

  • Education, Art & Culture: Documentary or Film
  • Humanitarian Action & Services: Documentary or Film

The Anthem Awards celebrate purpose-driven work that advances education, humanitarian service, health, responsible technology, sustainability, and human rights. 

The short film shares the story of Esmeralda, an NPH Guatemala beneficiary who persevered through a difficult childhood with the support of NPH. With access to education, medical care, and a caring community, she became an English teacher and active volunteer. Today, she continues to inspire her community and countless children across our NPH homes.   

This recognition highlights both the impact of Esmeralda’s journey and the mission of NPH USA to support families, transform lives, and help children realize their dreams. It also reflects the commitment of the NPH teams who care for children every day, the staff and storytellers who amplify their voices, and the generous donors who make this work possible. 

As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to stay connected and help us continue this important work.
