Join us for a one-week immersion trip to our NPH home in Guatemala.

Experience firsthand how NPH USA transforms the lives of children! You will meet the amazing children, staff, and volunteers of NPH and learn about their daily lives. Whether you are new to NPH, or a longtime supporter, visiting an NPH home is the best way to see your impact in action.

We will have the unique opportunity to stay at the NPH home, which will allow us to immerse ourselves in NPH life and culture. While the children are in school, you will help with the daily chores around the property, such as: working in the gardens and farm, assisting professional special needs caregivers, working in the kitchen and carpentry shop, and other jobs assigned by the home. After a morning of work, relax and spend time with the pequeños in the afternoons. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to meet with the leadership of the NPH home, tour the home’s facilities, and hear from the children about their experience living at NPH.

*Below, please note the required COVID protocols that all visitors must follow!
Note: An NPH USA chaperone will lead and oversee all travelers throughout the duration of the week. All chaperones are background checked, and are experienced volunteers.

NPH Guatemala

Opened in 1996, NPH Guatemala is fully supporting more than 200 children, around 70 of which live at the home, Casa San Andres, which is located 90 minutes west of Guatemala City, the nation’s capital. It is situated 5,800 feet above sea level in Guatemala’s beautiful central highlands, very close to the famous colonial capital of Antigua Guatemala. Casa San Andres has approximately 25 acres of land with a Montessori preschool/ kindergarten, primary and middle schools, vocational workshops, and more.

COVID-19 Protocols

In order to protect the unvaccinated and vulnerable populations in our care, visitors are required to follow all protocols set forth by the NPH home, which include (but are not limited to) mandatory vaccinations, mask-wearing, and a negative COVID-19 test. All protocols are subject to change.

If an adult visitor tests positive for COVID-19 during their visit and is unable to return home as scheduled, an NPH USA staff member will remain at the home with them to help coordinate their return. If a minor visitor tests positive for COVID during their visit and is unable to return home as scheduled, an NPH USA staff member AND the minor’s guardian or chaperone must stay with the minor at the home until a negative test can be produced.
