How The Residential School Program Works

Overcoming extreme poverty requires deep and wide intervention. These girls are collateral damage of slavery, colonialism, and neo-imperialism. Haiti Now has extensive experience with Domestic Servitude and has designed programs according to the needs of the very girls trapped by extreme poverty and exploitation.

At Haiti Now we believe our recipients deserve our full attention and resources in order to successfully break the cycle of poverty. Join us as we help Restavek girls go from domestic servitude to economic security so they can live a life they deserve.
