Family Preservation
Families offer the best hope of a nurturing environment for developing children. In Haiti however, providing for children and their education is often a challenge.
Through the reunification of children, we have learned that Haitian parents often relinquish their children when faced with daily economic crises that prevent them from providing basic needs for their children.
Our program strives to keep families together with education and counseling aimed to empower families to achieve long-term success.
