Can you imagine a childhood overshadowed by silence and fear? Every child deserves the chance to grow up safe, loved, and protected within a strong family. Because stronger families mean safer, protected children.
As Haiti prepares to celebrate National Children’s Day, our Haitian team is working hand in hand with IBESR, local community leaders, child protection partners from the GTPE-SUD, and families. Together, we are championing this year’s powerful local theme: “Breaking the Silence, Rebuilding the Future: For a Free and Protected Childhood.”
Thanks to your unwavering support, we aren't just addressing immediate needs - we’re equipping communities with the tools to create lasting change. Child protection is at the heart of everything we do. A strong family is the foundation for a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive.
This past week, across the South Department, we’ve already seen incredible progress:
📍 Côteaux: Reached 8 schools with awareness programs and laid the foundation to create a local Protection Committee with community leaders.
📍 Chardonnières: Sparked critical community dialogues on how to best protect vulnerable children.
📍 Les Anglais: Empowered teachers with safeguarding strategies and established new community-based reporting networks.
And this is just the beginning. These activities will continue in the coming weeks, reaching more communities and empowering more families to protect their children. By breaking the silence today, local leaders are paving the way for a brighter, safer future where families are not just survivors but champions for their children.
Join our mission today to empower Haitian families and protect every child’s right to safety, love, and opportunity. Together, we can ensure that no child grows up in silence or fear.
