Mission Statement
Our Vision: To see girls in domestic servitude overcome extreme poverty, heal emotional trauma, and live rewarding lives. Our Mission: Haiti-Now is dedicated to empowering Haitian girls living in domestic servitude to overcome poverty and exploitation to achieve economic security.
About This Cause
Restavek is a long-standing practice in Haiti where impoverished families send their children who are mostly girls to live with families who are better off to be cared for in exchange for domestic services. In reality, these girls are overworked, neglected, and mistreated. Haiti Now believes that Restavek girls need specialized programs to overcome emotional abuse and extreme poverty. Haiti Now strives to create a concrete solution to this problem by raising funds to build a Safe House to provide shelter that not only protects but also nurtures Restavek girls in Haiti. Beyond funding a physical home, Haiti Now has been investing in an Accelerated Education program to give Restavek girls a springboard for their academics while sheltered in the Safe House. The Accelerated Education program, funded by donations to Haiti Now, will offer a supportive environment and rich curriculum to enable students to obtain a 6th-grade diploma in three years. The program features best in class teaching methods, modern technology, and financial literacy as core to the curriculum.
