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.
WHATÂ 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!
