To create an independent inclusive community of people and businesses providing opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities.

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.
