Our program in Petionville (Kay Elaine) at the Father Wasson Center no longer exists since the building collapsed. We lost our wonderful volunteer Molly Hightower during this collapse. That collapse also killed Ryan, a young man that was here visiting his sister Erin, a volunteer. Molly had been with us since June and she was the one that got the kids using the swimming pool and she also helped with the riding program and many other activities in our three places. Molly was a bright smile that brightened every day and we miss her a lot.

NPFS has three distinct facilities:
* St. Hélène, a permanent home for orphaned and abandoned children
(UPDATE ABOVE)
* Kay Père Wasson or The Father Wasson Center, our former pediatric hospital now used for administration, rehabilitation and educational purposes;
* and a pediatric hospital called St. Damien Chateaublond.
St. Hélène is located 5,000 feet above sea level where the trees flourish and the air is cool. Approximately 450 children reside in this refuge, healthy and well fed. Another 175 youths are enrolled in an external program in which they live with family but receive academic scholarships.
The entire facility is located on 15 hillside acres. There are 19 residential cottages: one is for babies and toddlers; another is for children with special needs; and the remaining are for various age groups.
Just outside of the capital in Pétionville (a suburb), is Kay Père Wasson or the Father Wasson Center. This five-story building, formerly known as Hospital Saint Damien, is currently being used for various programs and administration purposes.
Kay Père Wasson houses the accounting offices, a physiotherapy/rehabilitation program for children with developmental disabilities, a job training and development program for ex-pequeños teaching them management skills and it is also used to accommodate visitors.
In December 2006, a state-of-the-art pediatric hospital in Tabarre, named St. Damien Chateaublond, was inaugurated. The hospital’s main focus is on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malnutrition and cancer. This facility provides in-patient care with 120 beds and out-patient care for up to 100 children daily. There is also a dental clinic, laboratory, and public health clinic on premises.
Adjacent to the hospital is Kay St. Germaine, a 2,300 sq. ft., rehabilitation and physiotherapy center aimed to open in the summer of 2008. These programs reach over 30,000 people annually.
