Right now there are children in Haiti desperate for freedom.
These children are called “restavek” and are isolated, exploited and abused. But there is hope.
We are a nonprofit dedicated to ending child slavery in Haiti in our lifetime.
WHAT IS RESTAVEK?
Creole (n) – from French “to stay with.”
A child staying with another person or extended family member who is treated as property and exploited for labor.
WHAT DO WE DO?
Our Haitian-led team works tirelessly freeing children, engaging families, partnering with authorities, and raising awareness!
Ending restavek is possible! Join us!
Speak Up
Haiti is a mere 1.5 hour flight from the US, but it seems almost nobody knows there are children there who urgently need freedom. You can help change that!
Share with your friends on social media that you want to raise awareness and give freedom to children trapped in slavery today!
