One year ago, a transition began in Les Cayes. Today, we are seeing what is possible when Haitians lead the way in protecting Haiti’s children.
The former ESPWA orphanage campus is becoming something very different: a Complex for Child Protection designed not for long-term institutional care, but to help children in crisis stabilize, heal, and move toward the care of a safe and loving family.
But this story is about much more than transforming a campus. It is about strengthening Haiti’s ability to protect its own children.
In our latest blog, hear from Overture’s Enel Andre and Wijems Sainval, along with IBESR leadership, about what has happened during this first year - the progress being made, the partnerships being strengthened, and the work that still lies ahead.
And there is an important part of this story we want our supporters to understand: Overture receives no operating funding from the Haitian government. Private donors make it possible for our Haitian team to work alongside government agencies while remaining accountable to our mission and the best interests of children.
There is much to celebrate. And there is still much to do!
