We always argue that education plays a vital role in reducing poverty in any country, including industrialized ones. However, not a child has the opportunity to go to high school or beyond high school in order to acquire vocational or professional skills due to their socio-economic situation. As a result, getting out of the poverty circle is almost impossible. Some of them are obligated to become “restavek” and street beggars as a way to survive. Restavek is a modern form of slavery that affects both children and adolescents. They are used to perform domestic work and other shameful activities. Sadly enough, such a practice is found in many developing countries, including Haiti. Fortunately, despite their socio-economic difficulties, many of them are eager to learn and shine in various aspects of life, but simply waiting for an opportunity. This shows, despite a child is living in poverty it doesn’t mean he/she isn't intelligent or creative and if given the opportunity, he/she can make something out of his/her life. In fact, history has shown that most of our outstanding world leaders came from poverty.

As a nonprofit organization, we understand their needs and this is why we came up with programs known as “Support Children and Protect their Future” for children and "Framing Future Leaders" designed for the youth. In these two programs, we locate children, adolescents, and young adults with potential and great desire to learn and to make a difference in their communities. We support them in both, professionally and financially in their journey to become some of the county’s best and finest professionals and leaders one day. Our understanding is that it is always best to teach someone to fish than giving that person a fish on a daily basis. To learn more about framing future leaders click here...
