Founded in 1968, the mission of Our Little Brothers & Sisters(OLBS) is to support the efforts of Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos(NPH) in helping orphaned and abandoned children in Latin America and Haiti by providing food, clothing, shelter, medicine, education and vocational training in a nurturing family environment. OLBS is founded upon the principles of unconditional love and acceptance. Orphaned and abandoned children who are welcomed into OLBS supported homes are never asked to leave or given up for adoption. They are taught work, sharing and responsibility in a secure, loving family environment; OLBS strives to equip the children with the life skills they will need for successful adulthood. In addition to providing support for homes for orphan children, OLBS reaches out into the community. OLBS supports outreach programs to aid those living in extreme poverty,  including community medical clinics which treat tens of thousands of people per year, community schools which are available to local children, facilities for severely disabled children, medical clinics and street schools in the slums of Haiti.

Mission in the Third Millennium challenges Maryknoll Sisters to respond as women yearning for authentic justice and reconciliation in the midst of a fractured and divided world.  Called to reflect God's compassionate and inclusive love, we are sent to walk with peoples of many lands, crossing the boundaries of culture, race and religious beliefs.     Maryknoll Sisters live the gospel values through a variety of ministries. We are engaged in evangelization, pastoral work, education and social welfare, medicine, communications, agriculture and science.  We serve the poor wherever we find them: in their homes, in prisons, in hospitals, in refugee camps, and on the streets.     Some of us work with youth groups, women and the elderly, and in the arts and communications.  Others promote and participate in ecumenical and interfaith dialogue.  Often we find ourselves networking with national and international non‑governmental organizations.     Wherever we are and in whatever we do, we strive to participate effectively in the mission presence and activity of the Universal Church so that God's Reign of peace, justice and love may be proclaimed and witnessed to throughout the world.  Mission means seeding hope wherever we are.
