Sister Felicitas de Lima and Sister La Salette Baisa founded the Filipino children's home "Fatima Center for human development" in 1975.

They were both nuns of the Augustinian Order. In the early 1970s, they joined the Rural Missionaries movement. This was founded by priests and sisters of different orders. The aim was to help the really poor of the population. Rice farmers, fishermen, plantation workers, indigenous people, such as the Agtas, lived in miserable conditions, so that there was a very high infant mortality rate. Sister Felicitas and Sister La Salle lived and worked with the needy people and thus got to know first-hand the hardships and circumstances of the people and gained their trust. They taught writing and reading to indigenous people and supported them in their struggle against big landowners and corruption during the "Marcos regime". They founded "Maryhill Sattlement", where the resident families joined together to form a community. Farmers' and fishermen's cooperatives (co-operatives) were established to improve their livelihoods. Members of the cooperatives were trained in sustainable organic agriculture, environmental protection and health care, as well as accounting and marketing. After a few years, the cooperatives were self-sufficient and only needed help from the Fatima Centre when necessary.

In 1974, Sister Felicitas and Sister LaSalle took in the first children who had lost their parents or could not be fed by them. Over the years, the number of children in the Fatima Centre has steadily increased, so that up to 100 children and young people as well as four families lived in the home. There they have a home and the chance to receive an education up to grade 12 of high school. The children admitted are orphans and street children, malnourished children or children from poor families, as well as abused mothers together with their children. Maryhill also continues to be supported by the Fatima Centre. Over the years, a primary school (up to grade 6) has been built and initial medical care has been provided.

In 1989 Sister Felicitas and Sister La Salle had to make a difficult decision. The Augustinian Order felt obliged to run schools. Therefore, both sisters were given a choice: Either the Fatima Centre would have to be closed or the Sisters would have to leave the Order. Since both sisters were convinced that with the Fatima Centre they were helping the truly needy and not only those who could financially afford schooling, they decided to leave the Augustinian Order. After leaving, they were directly under the Archbishop, who supported and appreciated their work. Today they have their own small, recognised order "The Daughters of St. Augustine".
