OUR IMPACT ON LIVES
At Development for Freedom International (DFI), our work significantly transforms the lives of those we serve:
1. Heart Surgeries for Children
Since 2012, over 100 children have received life-saving heart surgeries in South Korea. These childrennow enjoy healthier lives, free from the risk of future heart complications, and have the opportunity togrow and thrive.
2. Support for Street Children in Haiti
In Haiti, structural violence, insecurity, and widespread poverty force many children to live or work on the streets, leaving them highly vulnerable. DFI has rehoused, rehabilitated, educated, and provided spiritual development for over 300 boys and young men since 2012, helping them build brighter futures.
3. Empowering Young Girls in Haiti
Girls in Haiti face elevated risks of exploitation, abuse, and limited access to education. Through collaboration with the Haitian Social Welfare Department (IBESR) and Child Protection Services (BPM), DFI has provided safe housing, education, and support to over 100 young girls. These girls include survivors of sexual abuse, exploitation, and teen pregnancies resulting from abuse. Our goal is to offer them a safe environment, education, and the tools to advocate for gender equality and build resilient futures.
